In fourth grade we have been doing color opinion pieces. In the color pieces we explain why the color is our favorite.I really liked it when we got to write these. My favorite part was explaining the color and what it made you think of. Some people also worked on color poems. The most popular color is blue and there are 12. They are different shades of blue, like turquoise and teal and navy.
In P.E we have been doing our fitness session and getting free time. My favorite part in the session is when we did pull ups because I like working on my abs. My favorite part in free time was floor hockey because hockey runs in my family. I hope we can play floor hockey again.

Last week in school we started to read novels in 3 different groups. One of the groups is Heidi Heckelbeck has a Secret, another is Shiloh and also The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. During our reading block we have been reading our novels and writing about them.
In 4th grade math we have been learning about different polygons and angles. The angles are a right angle, acute and obtuse. We also measured with protractors. In the 4th grade math we have little clear colored shapes, called power polygons. We use those to measure sides and so that we can memorize the names of the shapes.

Last week we had p.e on Thursday and Friday. We had our fitness testing for pullups. Thursday and Friday we had re-dos. And if you did not want to re-do your test you could do choice time, but if you got a higher score the first time you would keep it. Last week in music we watched the Nutcracker. It was fun but we did not watch all of it but we watched some of it.

This week in math the fourth graders have been working on symmetry. Third graders are working on patterns and multiplication. In literacy we are working on opinions and facts. We are writing opinion pieces. My favorite one we did was what your favorite color was and why. I chose the color teal. Every Monday we write weekend news. And that is what is going on.
