The 2022/23 opera project is under way!!!

We have been working in groups expanding our knowledge as readers of non-fiction. Today we are presenting our projects to our classmates.

Game Day during connections block. First we developed class rules for how we want it to work. And then we played! At the end we will think about how we did following the rules.

Eating-mysteries in math this morning

This morning we are having a bus safety assembly. We figured out the last time 4th graders had an assembly in school was back in 1st grade! That amazing!

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

Next week our class will begin giving the morning announcements. Our focus will be indigenous people. Today we begin our research and writing of our scripts.

Creating a character sketch before we begin writing out stories

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

Social studies…we are beginning our exploration of Mexico, connected to the monarchs. First step, learning to research and record facts that will be interesting for our audience to learn about.

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

In literacy/writing we are using our knowledge of identity to map out a main character from a book. This will help us as authors as we create our characters for realistic fiction.

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

As part of our continuing learning about identity we are creating our own identity webs. We know that some parts of our identity can change. This is the start of Mr Reed’s web.

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

In art today!

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

For science we are using our science notebooks to observe monarch butterflies in their different forms as they transition. And since we have live butterflies in the hub we opened our wall to go back and forth!

[The Class @ReedLPS4]

We are building a library in our new hub space. We started by making bins of series books and now we are deciding what other categories rest in our library.
