First two days!

We had a busy first two days!  Students helped create our class mission statement, discussed what it means to be a leader, and completed a STEM activity!  We also started to get organized :)  Looking forward to a fantastic year!

Welcome to Mrs. Donze's Class!

Welcome to fourth grade!  I cannot wait to meet everyone!

Math Obstacle Course- Hallie and Elizabeth

Hi it is Hallie and Elizabeth here blogging. In math we are making ninja warrior race courses, of our own. As you can see in the pictures below, we are making 3-D ninja warrior courses. Our class has worked hard for more than a week, never giving up, on this project. First we made rough drafts that were 2-D, and finals that were 2-D, then we put the 3-D obstacles on the final version. It was super fun. Thanks to our worderful, spectacular teacher!

Post script, read this in a British accent. 😀😄😍😘😎😍😠🙄😛😝😘🙃🙃

 

Poetry Walk - Samantha and Jack

Hi This is Jack and Samantha. Today we will be bloging about are poetry unit. We went on a poetry walk to find beautiful things spring gives us  and write them down in are poetry notebooks to give us ideas for poems. It was great to get out of the classroom and go on a walk on a beautiful day.

Hot Wheels- Rome and Elizabeth's Blog

Hi We are Rome and Elizabeth. In science we are tracking speed and distance, building tracks to run our cars along, and recording our data. Project 1 is speed and distance as you see in the photo below.  Project 2 is building tracks (no pictures shown.)  Our class has found building tracks is great fun whereas we have found speed and distance is less exciting. Our projects have to be redesigned and added to multiple times... Until perfection. And that concludes hot wheels in science.
