Wednesday, Aug. 24th

It was so hot today!  Everyone came in from recess all sweaty!
(Note from Mrs. Goertzen:  EVERY 4th grader has a spelling list to bring home to study for the spelling test on Friday!)
Today we took our apples outside (because Mrs. G was grossed out by all the flies) and we set them in the sun for 2 hours.  We weighed them when we brought them back inside and they all weighed less.  Then we threw them all away!
We wrote 5 sentences in spelling today, so we talked about what sentences need to have.
In math we talked about shapes and we used the Promethean board to play with the shapes.
In social studies we watched a Keynote about the USA's symbols.
We took a reading test on the computers today.  (Note from Mrs. G - we are not finished; we'll finish up tomorrow, I think).
For lunch we had hamburgers and a juice up and the really spicy french fries.  No, they weren't spicy (we have differing opinions in the classroom!)
We talked about deodorant today (always a fabulous 4th grade conversation) and about wearing appropriate shoes to p.e.
Mrs. Goertzen is reading "Larger Than Life Lara" to us.
