Fabulous Day

Congratulations to Crystal for winning the title contest! Our new title for our class blog is, Fabulous 4th Grade. Enjoy your prize Crystal : )


Boy's Computer Lab Class

Today we did computers with Miss B. It was very fun. We played a spelling game outside on the basketball courts. It is called spelling bump. You get the ball and if someone gets you out you have to spell a spelling word. If you get it wrong, the other team gets a point.      -Tommy

Today Tommy and I qualified to play Wii for 10 min. We played sword fighting. Tommy won, but i still had lots of fun.      -Rodrigo

Today we made a goal if we get an extra lesson done in math next week, we can have games in our math time on Friday. I want to play marble games, football math game, or Wii.    -Crystal

Before chapel we qualified to play Wii. We got to school and finished our morning procedures and our math meeting master. We played tennis. - Katherine

   History Day - 4th-6th graders are making the Ark of the Convenant

Our Special Guest

Today we had a special surprise. We are learning about praying mantises in our writing class, and thanks to Mrs. Ketron we got to see some in our class.




Timmy Ketron's Mantis



Stephenson's Mantis

 Today we learned about the praying mantis. The nest the mom makes is completely closed for the winter, so nothing can get out and no one can get in. When summer comes, the babies hatch and slowly come out of the nest. The babies seperate and never meet again.  - Crystal

 

At the end of the praying matis's arms, they have sticky spines. They just have to touch a fly and it will stick! - Tommy

Mantises are very smart creatures. They catch mice, spiders, and hummingbirds. - Daniel

When they see their prey they quickly strike and their spikes stick into their prey, and then they eat them.      - David

I was glad we got to type our spelling words on the computer. We qualified to play games afterward.
- Katherine

We will earn our points by raising our hands to share, giving good eye contact, listening, and good transitions.
-David

I typed 14 spelling words in 10 minutes. Next time I want to try to type 20 spelling words in 10 minutes.
-Rodrigo

I typed 18 spelling words in 10 minutes. I also liked when Tommy showed our class his praying mantis.
- Daniel

Today we used our new laptops for our spelling lesson. It was so exciting because the laptops work so quickly. I am glad we get to use laptops this year!

Our Computer Lab

Today in computer lab we qualified to do typing. We started doing lessons and then we got to do some games. On the game if you typed the right letter the chameleon would eat the ant, but if you typed one wrong the ant escaped to his home and would say, "Ya-Hoo". It was exciting, but our arms got tired and sore!

- David, Daniel, Rodrigo, and Tommy
