Math is extra fun when students get to choose their own activity to practice skills. Students had a choice board of creative and hands on activities to practice multiplication fact fluency. @mvesycsd

Great way to end the year. We sang our class song for the last time this year, played beach volleyball, and shared lots of hugs (and some tears) as our class family said farewell for the summer. This has been an amazing year. Your teacher loves you. Class dismissed. @mvesycsd

May the 4th be with you. School’s more fun set in Tatooine with soft Star Wars music playing. We started our day with a Star Wars would you rather. In math we reviewed elapsed time and fractions with Star Wars activities. Then we read about the history of Star Wars day @mvesycsd

So proud of these young entrepreneurs. Our market day was a huge success and we sold out of our entire inventory. Their hard work paid off! #engageycsd @mvesycsd

By the end of our government simulation, only 1 out of 9 bills passed into a law, as the other two that passed the vote in our general assembly were deemed unconstitutional by our Supreme Court (went against providing education). @mvesycsd

[Alia Aamar @Aamar4th]

We reviewed the 3 branches of government in a fun and exciting government simulation today. Students each had a role as we attempted to pass some bills that were suggested. We had to decide if these bills would align to our class constitution @mvesycsd

Thank you @JillGillikinAP for coming in and reviewing school rules and procedures with us. It’s great to have a mid year refresher. Part of what makes @mvesycsd so great is our hands on admin!

Students were enthusiastic to present their Patrick Henry speeches this morning! @mvesycsd @YCSD

Our classroom was filled with learning and laughter as students worked together practicing factors and multiples on Thursday. They visited 4 Hawaiian islands to complete challenges and participate in an excursion-surfing, kayaking,etc @mvesycsd

The cold weather didn’t stop these mustangs. We had a great time at the American Revolution Museum in Yorktown. Students got a taste of what it was like to be a soldier during the Revolution. @mvesycsd

So happy to have the students back in class today. Before jumping into learning, we started our day with with a review of our classroom routines and procedures, Jeopardy style. @mvesycsd #gamechangers

Ss came up with a solution for disagreements while playing kickball at recess... Collaborate to create & write agreed upon rules & have everyone sign it. They had a great time playing today! @kdenny_ @JillGillikinAP #mvesgamechangers

[Alia Aamar @Aamar4th]

To review for our decimals computation test yesterday, we tried out a new game called GimKit, and it was a huge hit. Students enjoyed being able to throw snowballs while answering math problems. Then, we built snowmen and calculated how much it cost to dress him up. @mvesycsd

We have had an exciting week in 4th grade and we ended it with a special Flashlight DEAR time. @mvesycsd @kdenny_ @JillGillikinAP

I had an abundance of leftover candy corn, and we are learning long division. So, naturally, we turned the candy corn into math manipulatives. Math became so much more interesting today! @mvesycsd @kdenny_ @JillGillikinAP

[Alia Aamar @Aamar4th]

We conducted an experiment to see which liquid will dissolve our candy pumpkins the fastest: water, vinegar, cola, or oil

[Alia Aamar @Aamar4th]

Safety first! Students enjoyed practicing with safety goggles as we conducted our dissolving pumpkins experiment. @mvesycsd @kdenny_ @JillGillikinAP

We had our first mystery reader on Friday, and pajama day! It was a double treat for our class. #engageYCSD @mvesycsd @kdenny_ @JillGillikinAP
