News From Room #152
Mrs. Swain's 4th Grade Class
Our Classroom
Our classroom rules and consequences will stay the same; I will let the boys and girls know what my expectations are if they are DIFFERENT from what they have been doing in class.
I have changed some prizes for the school-wide S.T.A.R bucks so tell your kiddos to check over the lists posted around the classroom.
We could some kleenex and #2 pencils in the classroom- we are down to just a few.

New Technology Coming to Room #152
- What We're Learning In Class -
English Language Arts/Reading
* Students will start new reading groups when we return. Please make sure that your children are reading every day at home. My boys like to read for 15-20 minutes before they turn their lights at bedtime. It doesn't have to be a chapter book-- magazines, non-fiction books, or any other type of print is awesome and builds reading muscles!
Science and Social Studies
Math
* Kids will get to explore equivalent measurements in our 'hands on' learning area this week; we will work to measure liquid with cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.
* We start Math Workshop this week. This is where we will rotate through math activities (Meet with the teacher, hands-on explore/math game, IXL/EDM math websites, and partner problem solving).
