Science In 4th Grade

In 4th grade science is really fun. You still win surprises like having popcorn while watching a science related movie but also you get to play games based on what you're studying. I like this idea because you get to learn new things but you are still having fun. Also, if your class stays or earns back 10 points by the end of the class you receive a star to get the movie with popcorn. Do you think this would be or is fun?

Tips on the ELA test

These are some tips on the ELA test:
1. Work on it spread out DO NOT WORK ON IT ALL ON THE NIGHT BEFORE!
2. At home, imagine this is the real test DO NOT DESIDE YOU NEED A SNACK!
3. Also at home, do your homework first! What's more important, checking your e-mail or getting good grades? 

Those are some tips on passing ANY test

RECESS!!!

Everyone loves recess, so do I. Who can blame them, it's the only time kids have FUN! Without learning. Recess it all about having fun, being yourself, hanging out with friends and playing!! Once it was snowing so much outside but we still went out. It was great being outside especially because it was snowing. It was snowing so much I became a snowman covered in snow!

Tales of the 4th grade nothing:MEAN student teachers>:(

Some student teachers are mean mean mean and guess what, mean!
But they have to be mean sometimes. Like this week in our class we had A LOT of subs(not subway subs student teacher subs).
We had some mean subs but they turned out to be nice. Like every sub cant be all the time. If they where nice all the time  we would almost get away with everything.


Student Teachers

This past week, my class has been having a lot of substitute teachers for some of the day. My teacher has been going to a bunch of meetings and then because of that we have had a bunch of substitutes. Some of the substitute teachers that we had were pretty nice. When you have a substitute they seem like they are doing everything wrong but they really are just doing what they know to be right. When a substitute comes into a room they might not know your teachers rutine. Sometimes you have to give them a chance.

4th grade is fun!!! In 4th grade you get to learn all these different things. It great to know stuff that you NEVER knew before. Like did you know who discover New York? Or how the Native Americans lived their lives?  These are questions can be answered if you are in 4th grade. Anyways the best thing about 4th grade is... EVERYTHING!!!!

math fun



In class we have been working on faster ways you can get an answer like math my mom said that it is easier.I think it's really hard. Algorithm is an up and down met That means you write the numbers that you add on top of each other. You add the numbers in columns. If it's over 10 you put a on the side and put it in the tens, and if it's in the if it is over 100 it goes to the hundreds column.

Social Studies

In fourth grade usually you will learn about the  Native Americans, or the colonists that came after them. If you're in fourth grade basically all your field trips will be based on the olden times. Something fun that happens is Michelle Yokell gets to teach you. She teaches everything you need to know about pretty much anything-it's awesome! In fourth grade your education is so much more advanced.

HOMEWORK!!

Homework is really easy once your get the hang of it.  4th grade homework is pretty easy but apparently  for some people it's hard. 
Homework definitely helps you to be prepared for some big tests in the future. It helps you because the teacher would always put "write an entry" as homework and that helped the whole class with the ELA test, when we have to write the essay.
Everyone thinks homework is hard but it's really EASY!! Sometimes I don't like homework because it's hard but all I have to do is try!

teachers

Do you think your teacher is mean . You should not say anything because she might be a good teacher  it might be you . ONE time i had one problem with my teacher in 2 grade my teacher was loving i did not know by time the school year went bye me and her worked it out. so don't say anything to your teacher.

tales of 4th grade nothing:reading


Reading is my favorite silent time of the day. Its always good reading in silents because you can concentrate. 
Reading is good , and i love to do it.
The best books are the ones that are movies because it gives you more detail and you don't have to watch a long movie. But the new book desperaux its a movie book and it has more detail but then the movie has more detail too.
Keep reading and keep commenting!

tales of a fourth grade nothing:email

have you made your email at school yet?
well if you have that's cool but we can't email each other, only for homework that you forgot so your friends can tell you about it.
if you haven't this will give you something to look forward to in 4th and 5Th grade.
I don't have an email out of school, a real one i only have the school one.
but i think that you should be able to email your friends not just for homework but teachers just want to keep you safe.
keep reading and keep commenting!
