Math:  This week the students reviewed and took their third math test over lessons 1-15.  Next week we will be working on lessons 22-26.  We are in week 4 of our Fantasy Football scores, the students enjoy randomly picking their teams each week and seeing who they play against in our Fantasy Football league. 

Helping each other with their Fantasy Football Math Scores

Reading: Our theme this week in reading is Astronauts.  The students worked with reading vocabulary this week along with identifying character traits.  We are reading our main story about The Astronaut and the Onion.  

Art:  The students added details to their artwork about cubism like artist Pablo Picasso.  We are working with oil pastels to create the faces and details like Pablo did too!

Just like Pablo Picasso!

Character Development: This week we looked at three different situations dealing with emotions and trying to notice people's body language.  In class we role played different emotions -- try a few  out at home!

Chapel Buddies: The fourth grade students celebrated Clifford the Big Red Dog's birthday this week with their Kindergarten Chapel buddies.
