4th Grade MOSAIC
Goal Setting Conferences
Please bring your child to conferences this month so that we can set goals as a team. Your child will also share their data binder with you at this time.
The book fair will be open Thursday evening and Friday during the day.
Marble Runs
Wow! What an impressive event on Friday afternoon! I was very impressed with the quality of the marble runs. The creativity, the accuracy, the neatness, the critical thinking that was involved...blew me away. The 5th grade MOSAIC class came in to see our marble runs and many of the students commented on how awesome they were and how much effort they put into their marble runs. The students learned a lot about the design process and they will be creating a KEYNOTE presentation this week to share their learning. They will be analyzing their science journals, the design process, and their marble run and then creating a digital project to showcase their learning. Look for the Keynote on your child's iPad or inside of their digital portfolio.
Thank you to all of the parents who attended the MOSAIC CARDBOARD CHALLENGE on Friday!
Discovery Quests start Monday, October 26th
Passport Club
We are still looking for volunteers for the monthly Passport Club checks. It is a fun activity to volunteer for and it only takes about 20-30 minutes once a month. You will sit side by side with a student and have them show you where the countries are located on the map. We need to have 3-4 volunteers each month to be successful. This month's check will be on 10/30 in the morning from 9:00-9:45.
A great site to practice is...

Scroll down to the bottom of the HOME page and select the game. It works better on a computer than an iPad. Thank you Aidan Rice for sharing this with us!
Wonder Wednesday
Here is a link to our Wonder Wednesday padlet. We read Roller Coaster by Marla Frazee and made some connections to our lives. We then studied the physics behind water roller coasters and posted on our padlet.
