Mr. Wissner's 4th Grade

Good evening! I wanted to update you on a couple of things. The Book Fair is next month. In preparation for that, a flyer was sent home today. In two weeks, the students will visit the fair to make their wish list. The following week they will go to shop. I also sent home a few flyers for the book order. Feel free to send in an order! Remember that we do not have school next Wednesday, November 1st. Our Halloween party is next Tuesday along with the costume parade. Fourth grade will be doing the wax museum, so the other classes will move through our rooms to see our students dressed up. The parade begins at 1:00. Finally, last week we wrote informational books on energy, motion, friction, force, and gravity. The information came from multiple sources and the students provided definitions and examples for each concept. They did a wonderful job writing, illustrating, and completing text features on their books. Once they were finished, the students were able to share their bo

Good afternoon! Recently, we've been reading a lot about motion, energy, friction, and forces. Today we started compiling that information into books! Students are in groups of three to write informational books about force, motion, gravity, and friction. Their book will include a table of contents, illustrations, captions, and a glossary. On Friday, we will take our books to Mrs. Freeland's class and share them with her students. Here are some pictures from our work today; Just a reminder that we have a spelling test tomorrow. Have a great day! Mr. Wissner

Good evening, everyone! It occurred to me recently that I have been busy taking pictures in the classroom but have neglected to share these photos with you. I wanted to give you a quick peek into some things we have done within the last month. First, our trip to the Buckley Old Engine Show: Next, in science class we were working on energy. To use our learning, we created some chain reactions. Here are a few pictures from our investigation: Finally, we worked on writing with descriptive language yesterday. We used rich words to describe all things fall. Then, we painted a fall tree. Here are a few pictures from that: I hope you all have a great weekend! Remember, Monday is a delayed start and Tuesday is their next spelling test. See you next week! Mr. Wissner

Good afternoon! I have your child's school pictures but forgot to send them home today! I put them in a safe place, but it was too safe! They will come home tomorrow.
