Tests

In this year the tests are big, your patience is small, and you're afraid of a three. Your work is coming down in your face. Your not allowed to watch T.V. , you can't play D.S. , and your wii is not allowed to be played until every little piece  of test prep is done. But you have to remember when you get a four you'll be proud. You can't wait until the test is done so you can relax. So remember that all the test practice comes now so you can relax later.

tales of the forth grade nothing: homework

Some people think that we get to much homework. And that our book bags are so heavy every night!
But i agree that we get to much homework but the teachers have a reason.
(ill tell you why) it because they don't want you to forget what you have learned.
So if you get homework on the weekend don't worry. But i for one think thats unfair but its worth it.

More About Writing

Today we are going to talk about.......COLLECTING ENTRIES      

This is the VERY most important step because we can not go forward with our work if you don't do this step? O.K, you should make a list of writing territories, like your family or your friends or your dog or your hamster, anything you might write about. If you're going to write about it check it off, if you write about it twice, check it off twice etc. Now make a list of the things that you can write some thing about yourself on. Pick one and write away! 

Next: Picking a piece

Don't worry if you don't make student council.
i didn't make student council and I'm OK so don't go loopy and start crying (even if i know you won't)

Student Council

In 4th grade it is the first year you are able to be a part of the student council. Of course not everyone can get a part in this but some people do get to be a part in student council. The way some classes figure out who is going to be the two representatives and one alternate is by having an election like the presidents do. As you probably know Obama just got president elect. This image of Obama is from Caruba at Flickr.com.

tales of a fourth grade nothing:4th grade classrooms

I always thought that the 1st grade on the first floor and 2nd on the second floor and so on and so on, i thought it was weird for them to be on different floors but that was when i was little. now i know that they can't be on the same floor as the class.
that would be weird.
but now i understand more on why that doesn't happen.

Kids in Need in 4th Grade just like you

     Some kids are just like you and me but in wheelchairs and on crutches. You may make fun of them but it isn't their choice. They are just me and you with different transportation and accessories. They wish they didn't have so many accessories. 

     They have been put in separate schools and classes so we don't make fun of them.

     Do you have Asama or anything (other than being born or getting shots) that sent you to the hospital? Well for these kids they go every week and for some everyday!

     Please don't hurt them more, help them more.

Cool Big Field Trips

In 4th grade you have some BIG field trips. Maybe a little smaller than the 5th grade end of the year trip where you can spend a night in the forest and sleep in sleeping bags but these trips a pretty big. You can go to Phillisburg Manor on the metro north or going to the tip of New York to study Lenape Indians. Are there any other field trip recommendations that you have?

Jungle Gym

Is your favorite game at recces a game that you need the jungle gym for? Well, in 4th grade you can't use the jungle gym. It's the first year you're not allowed. I have a game that I like to play but I can't play it without the jungle gym. Why aren't we allowed?

You never know if you are going to go up a level or go down a level. If you read hard you could go up 10 levels, maybe even more! Don't you love read!? I know I do!

tales of a fourth grade nothing:cool facts about 4th grade writing(from a 4th grader)

4Th grade writing is fun and creative, it can be non-fiction or fiction.
I love fiction because you can write about anything like a talking dog or a girl driving a super car.
I think the hardest is a personal narrative because you have to think up all these ideas about what you have done in the past, pick one edit it and publish it.
Non-fiction takes a lot of research, like last year I researched on cats and you can't just go on the computer, you have to look in books too.

tales of the 4th grade nothing: Tests and homework

4th grade is hard but 5th is harder, you get harder tests then 4th grade you will realize you will get more homework but if your not there yet, don't sweat it you'll do fine.

its hard to do the tests because you keep thinking is this right or wrong is this proper or none proper. This can make you worried but when you get the score you'll feel better.

4th grade is the best sometimes you can get less homework but sometimes the more homework is fun, your teacher can give you cool homework and fun homework and maybe on trips you'll get no homework.

The Field Trips

In fourth grade you get two field trips in the first three months!

Fourth grade is a big year not only for the tests but the also the field trips! You are tested for your behavior on trips. The reason they do this is to test you for fifth grade and there you go on an overnight field trip (peec) and you have a barbecue.  Loads more too! 

                                            

  Be on your best behavior, don't be grumpy, and have a wonderful time. Look forward to fifth grade field trips and be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Get ready for the time of your field trips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4th grade trouble

In fourth grade you might realize that you get a lot more homework. In lower grades you have to do homework but it is a little easier and you have less of the work. When you are in 4th grade you have more of almost EVERYTHING. You have to do writing, reading, math, word study, social studies and, you need to remember all the notes.If you do not do your homework you get a missing homework slip. Then you have to stay and do your missing homework at the quiet table. Sometimes 4th grade is hard.
