Candy Corn Experiment
Halloween was a busy and fun day in Sports Fanatic Avenue! We took our story assessment, a spelling test, had a party, and did a fun science experiment!
In our science experiment we used candy corn pumpkins, vinegar, salt, water, and soda. We used the scientific method and observed what happened to the pumpkin in the different solutions. See what happened:

Ghost Experiment
During the months of October and November we had the opportunity to have a practicum student from Plymouth work in our room. She taught a variety of lessons and did many activities with our students. All the kids really enjoyed working with her. Ask your child something they learned from Miss West!
The Friday before Halloween Miss West did a little science experiment to get us in the Halloween spirit! The kids loved it! They learned what happens when vinegar and baking soda interact. Check out the experiment:

Montshire Museum
On October 17 the 4th grade went on a field trip to the Montshire Museum in Norwich Vermont. This is a hands on, interactive science museum. Our class had a blast exploring, experimenting, and interacting with all the exhibits. We also took a short class on curved mirrors and light. Check out some of the highlights:
Week of November 10-14
Wow! We have been busy 4th graders these last few weeks! It's been awhile since I've updated my blog and I apologize for that. I'm going to try to catch you up on all the fun things that have been going on in our classroom since I last posted!
On Monday we had a Veteran's Day assembly to honor those brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. The students learned about who, why, and how we celebrate on Veteran's Day. They were encouraged to thank Veterans and their families for the sacrifices they make for us to enjoy our freedom. We began reading a story called "Mystic Horse" and will continue with this story into next week. Our story assessment and spelling test will be on Tuesday. In math we have been working on multiplication and division. It is a difficult concept for most kids but they seem to be catching on! This week we began focusing on long division. In Social Studies we have been learning about what life was like in Colonial New Hampshire. Students picked a colonial trade and had to make a sign to identify their job.
