SPIDERS!

What do you know about spiders?  4th graders read a story last week about spiders and we took the time to demonstrate the things we know and the things we learned.  What an outstanding experience to share what we are learning.













It took some 4th grade teamwork to get the spider pattern traced.  Everyone seemed excited to show what they learned about spiders!

Here are the finished projects!


Unit two Week 4 TOP Spellers with a LITTLE ATTITUDE????

Once again we had a LARGE percentage of 4S students doing WELL on spelling!  WE were so proud of the students recognizing the different spelling patterns used with the "BOSSY r".  (or, oor, ore, and ar)


Miss Gracie missed the 'GROUP' shot so she was added individually!!  Way to go, GIRL



Can we say THEIR true personality is coming through???



Descriptive Writing

Write about a pet or another animal you know well.  Here is some FABULOUS writing!

     I have a pet and it is a dog.  It eats dog food.  He is brown and black and white.  He sleeps anywhere he wants.  It is as tall as my knee.  He has floppy ears.  He likes to play with me the most!

     I have a dog named Miles Austin.  He is as white as a snowflake.  When I move, he will sleep with me.  Miles is a teddy bear.  We got him on a farm right outside of town.

     I have a dog.  He's white and yellowish.  He's a mix breed.  His name is Scooby.  He sleeps with my dad and sometimes with me and my sister.  He eats table scraps sometimes and dog food.  He stinkin' loves treats.

     I have a black kitten.  She is as black as a piece of scratch paper.  My cat eats food and the type of food is chicken.  My cat likes to attack your feet every morning when you get up.  She is very hyper everyday and she likes to attack the Christmas tree.

                                                               My Pet Dog
     My dog is a Yorkie.  His name is Bear.  He is soft like a cloud in the air.  Something funny he does is he goes side to side.  He eats doggy chow.  He is so cute.

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA! Part 4

Mrs. Weaver, Braxton, Robert, Keegan Y., and Landon performed the drama "The Prince Who Could Fly."  Braxton played the maid, Robert played the wicked step-mother/queen, and Keegan Y. played the king.
Landon performed the drama as the prince.  Robert also played the wise old man that gives the princess a way to turn the prince into a bird so he can fly into the castle and talk with the princess.

Does the princess find a way to get away from the evil Queen?  Ask these students to find out!
