Some Updates....
This morning starts day 4 of 5 of the NJASK. I am very impressed with how everyone has been handling it! I knew that this class was extremely bright!
As you know, we have not and will not have any homework this week. There will be a test in Social Studies on chapter 9 on Tuesday of next week (5/17) and we have been studying a great deal in class for it.
Also, in Language Arts, the students have been working in small groups on some very creative stories! They are pretty close to completing the typing, look for them soon!
Progress Reports will be going home next week.
If you visit our school site and click on the MARE picture, you will come to a picture of 3 4M students, that won the 4th grade round of "Minute to Win It!"
Have a great night!

Today, in class, we used our Social Studies time to discuss one very major current event. Being that Osama bin Laden was captured by the US government, I took the opportunity to discuss this very vital development in United States & World history with the students.
Being that this is a very sensitive subject and that these students were basically infants at the time of September 11, 2001, we discussed how lives have changed but how we remain free and safe due to the courage of our armed forces. However, we did discuss that there can be evil in the world and that innocent people can be victims.
We also watched a very child-friendly video to help students understand the happenings. If you would like, please copy and paste the following link:
http://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/ushistory/september11th/
Tim and Moby on Brain Pop are two characters that the class has viewed several times before and topics such as multiplication, the food chain, essay writing and this video was released earlier this morning.
All of the students seemed to have understood the information being discussed and did not display any fears.
In other events:
We were lucky enough to have 1D visit us today and share some amazing books that they authored. We were all really impressed with their great work.
Book Reviews were due TODAY! If they were not handed in today, they can bring it in tomorrow but will have points taken off of their grade. Anything not handed in tomorrow will be a 0%.
Have a great week! Can you believe it is May already?
