Seven Habits Superstars!

We used procedural texts to make origami hats!

What a great week! We enjoyed such happy, productive days and I am thankful for our little class. Students are so well-trained and stamina is strong, that we actually finished lessons ahead of schedule this week. (Something they can assure you NEVER happens. Ms. Reese? On time? No way!) This is only possible because of our teamwork, clear vision of daily goals, and our understanding of the steps needed to get there. Boy have our "7 Habits" come in handy! We grow more into 4th graders every day. :-)

Highlights this week included finishing our Leprechaun creative writing projects, starting a world cultures unit in Social Studies, exploring math patterns, and a huge focus on nonfiction text features. We continue to chip away at our multiplication tables, and I am so proud of the progress we have made!
