Kabbalat Shabbat Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning, 4th grade will present their rendition of "Man in the Mirror" for the entire Davis Academy congregation! Please get to school by 7:55, so we can have one more practice before Kabbalat Shabbat. Also, if folks from home are coming, have them sit behind us (we will be sitting on the side opposite of the stage, where 5th grade usually sits). See you tomorrow!

States Projects! (Day 2 and 3)
We have had an amazing time traveling to all of these states in class! Some students have presented and fielded questions about their report, and we are slowly (but surely) getting to the rest of the class before the end of the week. Check out some of these awesome posters!

How to Write a Great Comment
Mrs. Yollis' Classroom blog has a great post on how to write quality comments. Check it out!
Whew! Our First Full Week!
We had a great week!
The students wrote business letters to their state's tourism departments. They addressed the envelopes, wrote the appropriate business letter format, and even proofread their peers letters before they went out in the mail yesterday. We also learned about how the mail works!
We learned about becoming better writers by varying our sentence types. Now, we can correctly write compound sentences and simple sentences!
We practiced the reading comprehension skill, Understanding Sequence, and we recognized word that are often found in "time order" reading texts. Words like "after", "next", "then", "before", and "finally" are clue words to help us understand the sequence of events in a story.
In math, we had our division test, and now we are starting multiplying greater numbers. (Like 67 x 8)
In social studies, we are jumping into Native Americans, and this week we learned about the theories that scientists have come up with about how the first people came to the Americas.
