Mid-Year Switch

In the middle of the school year you switch specialty classes. In my class almost everyone is hoping for certain specialty classes that they love.This year my classes specialty classes stayed the same except for art switched with science. Some people were happy about the switch but others were disappointed. Would you like this change?

gym is fun but then it has it off days but when you get to know the teacher you will like him. my favorite game is football but when somebody get hurt it is not fun . My 2 favorite is around the world me and some off my friends have a count down and zuri always wins.

Math Test

Can you believe that the math test is in 1 month? We just took the ELA test now we are taking another one!  That' s TOO MUCH to handle for a 4th grader!  The test is 3 days long!  Just like the ELA test. Now we have to do LOTS of test prep, well GOOD LUCK!!!!

the math test

Did you know that there is a math test in fourth grade. The math test is really hard. It has multiplication,division and many more. when you go to fourth grade you have to, have to, know your multiplication all the way to 12x12. Do you think that multiplication is harder than division?

Before Report Cards

At ps116 it is close to report card time. Our teacher had us show her our homework and we are now supposed to put dates on all of our work. We are expected to also have our homework checkers make sure we have all homework with a date and to have all parts completed. Sometimes you are scared that you are missing or don't have completed homework.

RULES!!!!!

Rules here, rules there, rules are EVERYWHERE!! They can be annoying. Every place I go, there are rules. Do this, be helpful, respect each other, focus on your work. The ONLY rule I like is HAVE FUN! Having fun is my specialty but the other rules AREN'T! Rules can teach you stuff if you want to learn but for me, I already learn TOO much in school. What do YOU think about rules?

AHHH! I'm running out of names!!! Writing

O.k, Claudia here!!! This is your second to final step!! Editing!!!!
1st of all, you have to check for....
*paragraphs
*spelling
*grammar
*punctuation
*anything like that!
After you have done that, you ask a parent or sibling to check for you. Like, if you spelled the word Elvis wrong, your peer might check it for you.
HAPPY EDITING!!!!

ELA celebration

After all our hard ELA work we had a celebration. With pizza, chips, juices, desserts and GAMES!Tons and tons of games like monopoly, uno, clue, trouble, dominoes and much MORE!! Also the teacher played music so we got to dance. 4th grade has the best celebrations EVER. I wonder when the next celebration will be.

How to pick out a just right book

First...
*pick a book that is your level

Next...
*read the title

Then...
*read the back of the book to see what is it about

After...
*skim through the book to see the pages and/or pictures

After that...
*if you like the book and you want to read it then it's your just right book

Finally...
*go and read the book

winter vacation

Some people love snow, some don't but they do love WINTER VACATION! Everyone gets to stay home to spend Christmas and New Years. Although they still have to do their packets so they can be prepared for the ELA test. My favorite part about Winter vacation is that you get to spend time with family and friends and also you get to stay up so late! Even though Winter vacation pasted I CAN'T WAIT for other breaks ( like Spring break, and Summer break).

tales of the forth grade nothing:clubpenguin

Have you ever heard of club penguin? 

its a website and your a penguin (isn't that cool?)

they have a lot of places on the website. Its like a place filled with penguins.

You are a penguin and so is everyone else. But be careful  because some people you don't know are on there. But its fun like you have your own house and stuff. 

this is a picture of a penguin on club penguin.

if you are a member you can get the items or if there is a party MAYBE you can get them.

be sure to look at tales of a fourth grade nothing: club penguin 2!

I have no clue what to call this writing

This is...........revising!!!!!!! 

 O.k, remember your draft? Did you forget that something happened? Did you forget a piece of dialogue? NOW IS YOUR TIME TO FIX IT!

 other ways you can use this stage:

1. Similes

2. metaphors 

3. Forgot something?

PLEASE COMENT 

fashion.D

Did you ever wonder what to were?When you are looking for something to wear. I"m coming to your rescue . First if you need something that is you so if you are a fun person you should wear something that is make out light color like yellow . Something that is countervail but then again the fabric can not look chip on you so want that means that you need to look cute but hot so ware those checks and never stop . 

 
                                                                      Toddles!!!!!!

Ballet

Ballet is the most fun dance ever. Shows are the most coolest. There is spinning,leaping and jumping. Sometimes people sing in ballet shows. Ballet is like dancing for the soul. Most people think it's just jumping around on stage. Dancing is more like speaking your mind. What I like most about ballet is the way people use their heart. Ballet is fun dancing,sometimes they are for winning money. After all it's cool to do. In school you can sign up. What's your favorite dance?

tests are over!!!!!!

Finally the ELA tests are done but now we have to wait for our scores, that will take FOREVER!! I think I got a 4!! Now we get to relax because there is no more test prep. Well except the math test and the science test. I guess test prep isn't over. Even though we have more tests I am EXCITED!! And who knows I might get 4's on ALL the tests.

lol

Everybody is saying LOL and it is getting annoying ! The next time i hear it I'm going to scream . it is mostly the the 5Th graders and the girls in my class.

It makes sense when you text it to somebody but when you say it to some body it dose not make sense. ONE example is when things happen but don't say LOl out loud

fourth grade writing process

In fourth grade you need to do writing process. fourth grade you need to know how to do littery essay and a real story about you also non-fiction. littery essay might be hard but you will get used to it. Also you need to put text evedence.

publishing party's!!!!!

Publishing party's are like the best. But fourth grade publishing party's are hard. You need to do a real story and do a littery essay,non-fiction and more. Publishing party's are really not that bad but are hard.

fourth grade homework!!!!!!

when you are in fourth grade and get homework, you might think it's hard but it's actually to help you get better and smart. So don't think homework is a punishment, think of it as a tutor . So homework is not bad.

science class

In science class you do alot of cool things. Like you observe animals,get to touch some stuff that came from animals. Also you can feed some food to the animals. Animals are like thye most amazing things in the world.

the inauguration

in gym we watched the inauguration live. in the inauguration we saw other people coming out and 2nd graders what we did is we saw inauguration.And what we saw is Barack Obama's day of being the president.And we head a lady sing and we heard a band we prayed .and some guy and Barack Obama said something then everyone clapped.

class pets

When you are in fourth grade you might have class pets. Class pets are the best. You get to see them eat and do some cool stuff. Also when you are in Mrs. Ahn class wow! You get a lot of class pets. In Mrs. Ahn  class they already got 3 class pets that are really cool.

About Anole Lizards

hannah s.In my class we just got a class pet. Some things I know about them is they eat live crickets and meal worms too. Also, they can turn from green to brown. Supposivly when they are green they are scared. They are pretty small and like a lot of lizards their tail falls of and regrows if it gets cut off or hurt. Do you have a class pet in your classroom?

tales of 4th grade nothing:class pets!

in January we got a class pet!

(we got a Anole lizard!)

we voted for the name and trying to see witch one is a boy and witch one is a girl because we got two!

but we found out like a month later.

the lizards names are Cookie and Fred and they are so cute!

one day after school i forgot something in my class and the lizard where out(ms.Kim and my friend where there)so my friend found a lizard and when i was petting it, it jumped on my face!

its so much fun to hold them because sometimes they lick you.

thanks for reading:)

bye!!!!

EVEN EVEN more about writing

I think I have given you enough time to pick a piece, now for...... DRAFTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is going to be really short because this one is so simple.

All you have to do copy your story out on to a yellow pad, found at staples!!

PLEASE TO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, NEW POST COMING VERY SOON!!!  

Math

One more step, math. Calm down, it's like the writing except you write about math, not stories in the booklet. It's still a test and you've been through it before. You know exactly what to expect during the test. Actually, you shouldn't be scared at all. You have been through it more than once and more than twice. You even took practice tests and have done a real math test. Don't be afraid, because it will be fine. You are prepared and you are ready. As long as you practiced it will be easier than you think. Don't worry it's going to be fine. You practice and you know the saying "Practice Makes Perfect." It will work fine is what you think and you are right.

TESTS!!!

Tests are coming!! I am nervous and shaking about the tests especially because it's right around the corner! I'm prepared and everything, but you never know what's going to happen. Anyways I'm sure that you and I will both get great scores!! GOOD LUCK!!

CLASS PET!!!

In fourth grade you may get a teacher that brings a class pet. If you get Ms. Kim, you will most

likely get a lizard. These small lizards are called Anole (Uh-nole-ee)Lizards. If you get Ms.

Cheng, you will most likely get frogs and or tadpoles and fish. The other teachers probably don't

have class pets. That shouldn't make you sad if you have a teacher that doesn't have class pets.

It should make you happy that you don't have to spray stinky containers. Or make yourself

dizzy watching fish go in circles. Just look forward to not cleaning a stinky tank or watching a

lizard jump onto a leaf.

Just don't forget; it's not about class pets-it's about learning and having fun.

Another thing; there are animals in science no need to have on three feet away!

Last thing; FOURTH GRADE IS HARD BUT CAN BE FUN!!!

test

Oh,no! The test is coming. When you are in fourth grade you have a test that is very different
from third grade. Fourth grade you have to write a 5 paragraph essay. You also need to know science. Sometimes you might get nervous on a test because you don't think your going to pass. One thing that I am going to tell you is don't be nervous because if you don't be nervous you will pass.
