Story Time!
by Randi Jo and Madison

In story time Miss Ploederl reads to our class. The first book we read was Wonder. It was about a boy that was deformed. His name was August, but everybody called him Auggie. He was ten. He was home-schooled until fifth grade. Then he went to a public school. In the end he made lots of friends and even won an award. It was a great book.
Now we are reading Mrs. Meyer is on Fire.  We are about half way through the book. It is funny.
We also do D.E.A.R. time. D.E.A.R. stands for Drop Everything and Read. We usually do it for fifteen minutes or less.

What’s Happening in Our Fourth Grade Guided Reading?
By Braeden and Jett

The Amber Brown Group is reading Amber Brown You Can’t Eat Chicken Pox.  A personal rating from Bradey and Prestynn is good.The book is fiction, and it’s exciting! It’s easy to understand.

The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe group gives their book a rating of five out of five stars.  They have read through chapter eleven. They have had a couple of vocabulary worksheets. There are five kids in this group.  There are three girls and two boys.

The Winn Dixie Reading group is reading Because of Winn Dixie.  The story is about a girl who found a dog in the store, and takes the dog home with her.  She keeps the dog, but it is in rough shape.  The star rating for this book is four out of five stars.  In fact this is my, Jett’s, reading group.

Math
By Jack and Walker
          
In the first quarter we learned place value.  We learned ones, tens, hundreds and thousands.  Then we learned millions, ten millions and hundred millions.The last thing we learned was roman numerals.
This quarter we have learned how to subtract correctly, and how to check our math problems to see if we are right.  We have math class before lunch.  Math class is sometimes interrupted by play practice or Music.  Usually we have homework in math.
Now we are working on front end estimating and adding and subtracting four and five digit numbers.

English Class
By Courtney, Jade, Terese


In English class our teacher is Miss Ploederl. One of the projects we did was a Dear Deer homophone letter.  All thirteen kids had to make a paper deer to go with the project. Before we made the Dear Deer letter, we made practice homophone balls. After we finished, we started our rough draft on the Dear Deer homophone letter. Once we were done with the rough draf,t Miss Ploederl had to look over them. Then when they were done being looked over, we had to type. Then we printed them. On the other days we got different homework pages. Another project we did was a camping paragraph. For the camping paragraph first we had to list things that we heard, saw, and did while camping. After that we picked three things from our list. Then we put them into a paragraph. We drew a picture of us camping to go with it. That is what we do in English class.
