Fourth Grade Reading Buddies

Rooms 4 and 16 are Reading Buddies this year.  Fourth graders meet us in the gym 2x a month to share writing and story time. Our partners listen to us read our latest writing, and they read library books to us. What a wonderful experience for both groups of kiddos!

Whale Connections

This morning as we gathered around the carpet because B. and C. started getting excited! They noticed, scanning through books, that 4 different whales use echolocation! Everyone got excited!  We just had to share how great it is to connect that more than 1 kind of whale communicates the same way!

Raptor Visit

We had a wonderful, informative visit from the Chintimini Wildlife Center today. They shared a vulture, 2 owls, and a red-tailed hawk. The boys and girls were able to meet the birds, view various parts of a bird, and "pet" bird wings and feathers.

Snuggle Up and Read a Good Book!

Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas Room 4! 

This holiday I am sending you home with a couple of books to "snuggle-up" and read with your grandma, grandpa, mom, or dad. There are 16 chapters of reading fun. May you eat cookies, visit friends, play games, stay up late, and sleep-in every morning! Vacation is for family, fun, and REST! May all the sniffles and sore throats be healed, and that excitement and energy continue. You are the BEST first graders any teacher could ever hope for. See you "next year"! Love, Mrs. Stein
