Fourth Grade is Underway!

While we are well into the fourth grade year by now, I an excited by many of the successes I have seen so far. We have just about completed a unit on the solar system, and we have learned revealed many mysteries of the cosmos. In writing we are working on factual reports using various science texts. This has been challenging for a lot of the students, as understanding the language and developing our own main ideas is not easy.
We rotate for reading groups and math groups each day. The groups that work in Mr. Robinson's class have ambitious goals; and we are working on standards that exceed grade level expectations. Perhaps the most anticipated part of each week are Friday's Clicker tests. All of fourth grade is working hard, and there is a lot of collaboration between each fourth grade class. I am always looking forward to what we may do tomorrow!
