Our week started off with an all 4th grade field trip to see the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra at the Zeiterion Theater. Although we didn't agree as to what our favorite part was, we all agreed that it was a fun time!
This week in Math we sharpened our place value skills through the millions place. By working with a partner, we were randomly handed cards from 0-9 and had to decide where to place them in order to make the biggest number we could make. Should we take a chance and hope that we would get a 9 to place in the millions? Sometimes taking a chance paid off. Other times, not so much. We will certainly be playing more rounds of Place Value War (also known as Who's Greatest?)through the remaining of the year.
Next week promises to be an exciting one -- it is our week with the Promethean Board! SBS recently got one of these interactive whiteboards, and it is being sharing amongst our classrooms. Next week we plan on doing an introductory lesson as well as a lesson on Explorers with the help of the wonderful and always helpful Mrs. Donahue. Stop by after dismissal if you want to check it out.
Have a great weekend! ~ Mrs. Lawless
