LA~
We attended the play about Shakespeare that Mrs. Doms and and Mrs. Ruthig's classes put on. What a great experience!
Science~
Today we reviewed how we categorize animals, the predator-prey relationships and how rain effects and ecosystem. Grannan's class has a science test tomorrow. Woods' class has a science test on Wednesday.
Math~
We went over the partial quotient algorithm using 2 digit divisors. Tomorrow we will review for the test. The test will be on Wednesday of this week. We are moving it up a day so that students aren't distracted by the mini-mall on Thursday.

"Blue Ribbon" Thursday
Today was an exciting today day to be at NP. We all have new t-shirts and we had a great assembly to celebrate our accomplishments! Congratulations NP family!
Language Arts~
Today we went to music class. We then worked on our handwriting while we waited to be called to the assembly. We came back and took a quiz over chapter 6-8 in Frindle.
Math~
Today our focus was on measuring and drawing angles using a half protractor. We did the study link at school because most of the students said that they did not have a protractor at home.
Science (Woods)~
Our focus today was the living things in an ecosystem. We learned about producers, 3 different types of consumers (herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores), and decomposers. We also learned about food chains and food webs. There was a food web worksheet but I do believe that most people got it finished in class.
**Don't forget that science proposals are due on Wednesday, December 15th. You can find the proposal on the last page of the science expo packet.**

Wintery Wednesday
I am beginning to think that we live in a snow globe.
Tomorrow is our Blue Ribbon Assembly. The t-shirts still haven't arrived. They are supposed to arrive tonight. The shirts will be passed out tomorrow before the assembly.
Language Arts~
We started out our day with Reading MAP testing! I am so proud of everyone. Most people worked slowly and carefully. Way to go, 4th graders! Our reading buddies visited us today. We worked on handwriting and did some grammar work.
Math~
Today we learned to measure and draw angles using a full circle protractor. I figured most families don't have a full circle protractor at home so their is now homework tonight.
Art Smart~
Thank you to our wonderful parents for teaching an amazing lesson today about Egyptian Art. The kids got to draw Egyptian portraits and also work with hieroglyphics.

Toasty Tuesday
I am almost positive that I saw sunshine today. I hope everyone is staying toasty warm!
Language Arts~
Today we did a reflective writing on ideas that could make our school better. We also pretended to be Nick from Frindle in order to learn more about his character. We read chapters 7&8 and did the worksheets as well as venturing into vocab. We took a vocabulary vine quiz over last week's root words.
No homework tonight. Map testing first thing tomorrow!!
Math~
We Map tested today. Some students are still testing. I am very proud of how students are doing their personal best.
Science~
Today we looked at how living things interact with their ecosystems. We learned about producers, consumers, decomposers, food chains and food webs.
It was a busy day.....
*****Presents for the giving tree are due on Friday! If you took a star off the giving tree and are planning to donate a gift, the presents need to be at Northpoint on Friday. If you would like to donate and didn't take a star, there is a need for gift cards to Walmart, Target, or Kohls.******
***** Tomorrow is Variety Day. Students may pick a Spirit day tomorrow. Stars in Service is collecting $ donations for Riley Hospital. Students may wear hats, or p.js. or backwards day or whatever they feel like tomorrow.******

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!
I hope everyone is warm and dry this afternoon! PTO is hosting a swim night at Penn this Wednesday. Note went home today with youngest and only.
LA~
Today we had music and IMC. We came back to the room and took an open book quiz over chapters 4 & 5 in Frindle. We also read chapter 6. We discussed developments in the books plot, author's craft, and figurative language. We did venturing into vocab.
One of our awesome parents has found that the Fimo clay we need for our end of book project is on sale this week at Michael's for 4 for $5. That is half price! We could still use some more.
Math~
Today we talked about measuring angles. Our focus was on the 360 degrees in a circle and how that compares to a standard, analog clock. We used kinesthetic learning techniques to learn this by standing up and being the circle/clock.
No homework today.
We will MAP test in math tomorrow.
Science~
Today we looked at ecology. We learned about ecosystems, habitats, communities, niches, and populations. We also talked about metamorphosis. All students received a biology study guide. Grannan will take the test on Tuesday and Woods will take the test on Wednesday.
Did you see the Science Expo papers? Just as a reminder the expo proposal is due a week from Wednesday. Students will be graded on their completion of the science journal that came home on Friday. Students are encouraged to come talk to me about any questions they have regarding completing the science journal.
