Day at the Museum!

We are going to the Milwaukee Public Museum! 

On Thursday, March 9th, we will go to the Milwaukee Public Museum. We are looking forward to seeing and learning a lot at the museum!
Admission is $5 and a permission slip went home on Wednesday. We would love to have 4 chaperones! The permission slip is due back on Friday!
Students will need to wear their green EverGreen Field Trip Polo shirt with uniform pants or jeans and comfy waking shoes. They do not need to bring backpacks, but will need to bring their own lunch in a brown paper or plastic bag.

Our visit to the museum will include a scavenger hunt as a fun way to explore the museum!

We will have so much discuss in our Science and Social Studies classes in the days and weeks to follow our visit tot he museum. I see a research project in our future! :)

EverGreen Day @ The Movies

Today was the day! Our entire school, 4k-8th grade boarded our buses and spent the morning at the movies!

In 4th grade, we prepared by making Lego creations before we departed school. We will be using these very same Legos to help us further understand how to make fractions!

The Batman Lego Movie was actually educational for us. From a literary point-of-view, the movie helped us see the parts of a story. We have just begun studying these parts; genre, main characters, setting, theme, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution. This afternoon, after returning from our movie, we made "cootie catchers" using our parts of a story vocabulary. We discussed each part comparing and contrasting it to our Teacher Read Aloud book, The 14th Goldfish and The Batman Lego Movie.

Thank you to our chaperones!

Now We're Cookin'!

During the month of February, 4th graders were tasked with finding 3-5 recipes that appeal to them or are special in some way. Perhaps, your student always enjoys cooking with a favorite relative and they want to share the recipe with us! Perhaps, your student likes getting inventive in the kitchen and something turned out especially tasty! Share it with us!

Due Thursday, March 2nd, students need to bring in (or email) 3-5 recipes including ingredients and directions. If they can type and email them, that is super! If not, we will be using class time to practice our typing skills and the recipes can be typed them.

Students need to explain in a sentence or 2 why he or she chose at least one of their recipes. We are working on personal narratives and this helps.

You may send in a few pictures to go with your recipes. (You do not have to send in pictures of the student or the food.)

Late assignment rules apply! A late assignment drops one whole letter grade each day that it is late! Please use time wisely and be prepared!

We will put together and print a 4th-grade class cookbook! For those students interested in raising money for their Camp Timber-Lee trip, we will also be selling these cookbooks for $10 each*!
*Details are forthcoming!!
