FIRE!!

The students read a story about fire and the history of the fire department. As a connection to this the Gum Branch Volunteer Fire Department came to the school and spoke to the fourth grade students about fire departments, equipment, and volunteering. We thank Chief Fisher, Lt. Young, and fire fighter explorers Sawyer and Gould for their time.

Math Task

We learned the importance of a unit of measure. Our hands can not compare weights as well as a balance.

Science Discovery

Today we discovered the forces that make a parachute fall slowly to the ground.

Fourth Grade is Great.

Now that I am a fourth grade teacher, I feel like there are many new options and opportunities opening up for me to teach. Recently we have started a science project. Remember that I have given the students rubrics to follow and that the assignment is due on September 19. We will be exploring American Indians soon and doing a report on one tribe. Mathematics is a new adventure and we will have a novel study in the future. I am very excited about fourth grade.

End of the Year

Dear Parents,
It is very important that we stress to the students that they still have 17 days left of school. I will still be taking grades and the students still have much work to complete. Please stress that good behavior is important if the students want to participate in the end of year activities. If student behavior does not warrant a party; we will not have one. I have enjoyed being your child’s teacher and look forward to finishing out the school year with lots of fun.
Sincerely,
Ms. Creech
