We have cubbies in our classroom and we put all of our work in them. Also accessories like scissors and things like that. So when our teacher, Mrs. Sanders, asks us to get something we go to our cubbies.They have our names on them so that we can tell them apart. But we put our books in our backpack instead of our cubbies. So those are our class cubbies.

We have this new math thing called Einstein Math. It is pretty cool I think, but that is just my opinon. What we do is we take a piece of paper (with a math proplem on it) and we firgure out what the answer is. Then we go to a lock and see if we got the proplem right. We check with a combintion lock. If we got it right the lock will open and if we got the answer wrong the lock won’t unlock. That is our new math thing called Einstein Math.

The jobs are:Balls, floor checker, bookshelves, sink, cubbies, paper passers, planner checkers, lights and door, absent folder, monitor, runner, and lunchroom.

Turning off the lights

Checking our planners

We have a new routine for our class clean-up, when we go home, known as Stack and Pack. We have three ball people who pick up the exercise balls that

Filling out our planners

we sit on now instead of chairs. Also we have to pick up fifteen things off the ground and show it to the floor checker people. We write our homework that we have and we write it down in our planners. Then we go home.           That is our new Stack and Pack routine.

Picking up

Putting away our balls

We have 2nd grade buddies.  We meet with them once a month.   We do things like write stories.  Today we wrote Halloween stories with our buddies.  We made a plan, wrote our rough draft, and finished our final draft on pumpkin shaped paper.  We replaced some of our words with Halloween stickers. Our stories were spooky, except for mine (Alena) because it was about trick or treating.

Recess is so much fun. I think everyone likes recess. A lot of people like football,soccer,basketball and just running around for fun. I think everyone has fun at recess because of their smiles. I think we have the biggest play ground ever! All in all we love recess.

Dear parents,

Our fourth grade field trip to Florissant Fossil Beds is fast approaching!  It is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23.  We will be discovering how the rocks and fossils in the area were formed and learn about Colorado history.  The cost for this experience is $10.00.

The buses will leave at 8:30a.m. and we will arrive at Florissant Fossil Beds around 9:30a.m.  We will stop at a private rock quarry in Florissant to do our own fossil hunting as well.  Lunch will be enjoyed at the Florissant Fossil Beds, so make sure to order one or bring your own sack lunch.  We will leave at 2:00p.m. and arrive back at school by 2:55p.m.

We need 4 to 5 parent chaperones from each room for this trip.  There is no cost for adults on this trip.  Adult chaperones will be assigned students, and they will participate with that group for the entire trip.  Please verify with your child’s teacher that you would like to attend as a chaperone by Thursday, September 10.  If more parents want to attend than there is space for they will be chosen on a first-come first-served basis.

This is an outdoor field trip, so remember to dress accordingly for the weather that day.  Sunscreen should be used.  Hats and sunglasses are recommended.

The class has been working on couplets. Couplets are small poems that rhyme at the end of each line. Here are some of my couplets:

I went to the store to buy a fork,
I made a mistake…and tripped a dork.

I went to a dance class to boogie and groovy,
I made a mistake…and bought a smoothie.

I went to the incline to go to the top,
I made a mistake…and said hi to a cop.
