May 6 Update from the Flaming Fish!

Inquiry:

We have been trying out different experiments in class to test our scientific thinking skills. All of our experiments have involved something edible or drinkable - not that we are eating or drink our experiments!  Students will be conducting an experiment in class between May 17-20. Details and timeline dates have been emailed to parents as well presented to students in class.

Timeline and Deadlines

May 10 - choose experiment

May 13 - Write up experiment using outline provided or similar

May 16 - choose date to present experiment and finalize materials prep

May 17-20 - Experiment Expo

Literacy:

Book talks in partnerships have just finished. For the final task to show comprehension of reading, students are making a Kahoot quiz about their book for their book partner. The students have been working on these since Tuesday and they are due May 10. The quizzes will be shared with their partners then.

Math:

We have been studying line plots to understand what they are, how to construct them, and how to use data presented on them.

Calendar

May 9:  No School

June 7: Grade 4 Wet-Fun Day
June 9:  Grade 4 Moving On Ceremony 8am in the FAT

Fun in Science

Our inquiry focus for this quarter is on systems for problem-solving and predicting. Our big goal is to understand how thinking scientifically can help us investigate, understand, and explain the way our world works. That means a lot of science! We spent this week finding out about some of the tools scientists use and tried them out in our classroom as we are preparing to start some experiments! Here we are in action!

Student Led Conferences - Success For All!

Student led conferences give a glimpse at what students have been doing for the year. There was a lot of hard work put into preparing these. Seeing the great connections between students and their families is priceless!
