Another great day in 4S! 

For our last day of Red Ribbon Week, we are wearing anything that sparkles and shines!

In Math, we learned about mean, median, and mode.  The kids loved a singing toad video.  Please check it out if you need any help for homework, or just as a refresher.  Caution-the toads (and spider) sing some very catchy tunes!

Mean, Median, and Mode Singing Toads!

In Social Studies, we have been discussing the regions of the United States.  To begin our discussion, everyone wrote down the state(s), and region(s) that they have visited.  After, we made posters labeling the regions with the states and listed students under each state visited.  It is so neat to see all the places that we have been fortunate enough to see!

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow, Thursday 10/24-"Stay in the Game-Play Drug Free!"-Wear a team jersey/shirt!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Tuesday, October 22

What a great day!  Our class showed such spirit by wearing clothes backwards, inside out, mismatched.....we truly have a creative group of young people in our room.

Keeping up with Red Ribbon Week, tomorrow's theme is "Too Smart to Start," and students may wear their "thinking caps" (hats) to class tomorrow.

Keep it up 4S!

Also, as of tomorrow, students are not to bring in their rainbow looms or trading cards to school.  They have become quite a distraction.  Students are still permitted to wear their loom bracelets, but should not be wearing them as rings.  

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and continued support!

Have a great night!
