Tuesday

Our students went to the track today to cheer for the other fourth grade class as they ran the track.  Tomorrow 4b will do the mile run.  Please make sure your child is dressed to run.

In language arts we learned more about Greek  root words.  Students learned that bio means life and tele means far off and phon means sounds.  So tele + phon means far off sounds.  It is fun when you see words which have meanings that are Greek.  Students have their spelling test tomorrow.

In math we were able to feel the difference between an ounce and a pound.  We had a granola bar to heft an ounce and a pound of butter.  We learned that the abbreviations for ounce and pound are from the Italian words libra and onza.

In the afternoon students worked on earning their reading points and then went over to the track.  I think this is a perfect week for running.  Please feel free to come tomorrow at about 1:25 to watch the students run at the high school.

On Thursday we will be going to the Gittins Farm in Weston at 12:30.
