Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their family and friends. We had a great first week back in 4T!

In science, we finished up our unit on weather. We investigated how windsocks work by building our own and testing them using our fan at different speeds to simulate wind speeds! We also learned all about the different types of clouds and the kids made Animotos to demonstrate their knowledge. You can check them out on Seesaw! Next week, we will begin studying geology!
 

Math this week was all about decimals! We practiced modeling decimals with fraction circles and base-ten blocks. We learned about the metric system of length and converting meters, centimeters, and millimeters. We finished the week by comparing decimals. 


In reading, students are learning all about extreme weather! We are working in groups to investigate extreme weather by reading, taking notes, and creating a presentation to share with the class. I'm so impressed with how hard the students are working on these projects!

In writing, we are learning the similarities and differences between personal and persuasive writing. Students are taking their personal essay and making changes to turn their writing persuasive.

A huge thank you for the inside recess games families have donated to our classroom. The kids are putting them to great use!

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend!
