Miss Blanchard's Story:

Don't Be Too Greedy!

          In a green forest on a bright summer day, a red fox was roaming through the woods when he spotted in a hole in his favorite tree, a pile of fresh French bread and numerous juicy, mouth-watering, t-bone steaks. As soon as he saw this delectable treat he hurried into the hollow of the oak, where it was hidden, and heartily devoured the entire meal. When trying to leave the hole, he quickly discovered that he had stuffed himself with so much food that he couldn't fit back through the hole! The sorry fox began to lament his fate and loudly started complaining. Presently, another fox, who was a close friend, came charging toward the hole in the old oak trunk and was greatly surprised when he found his friend twice as large as usual and stuck in a hole in a tree. The wondering friend inquired after the poor fox's story. After listening intently, the only advice the friend could give was the terrible truth that the greedy fox would just have to patiently wait until his form was reduced to its normal size.  

Whooo, Whooo Everyone!

Mr. Owl flew into our classroom last night. He likes our tree so much that he decided to stay here for the winter!

4th Grade News

Latin King Elephant -

First you take a Latin word and makes a sign. The sign goes around your neck so everyone can read it. Then you sit in a circle and memorize everyone's word. The game begins!

 We started out slow today but next time I think they will be ready for a faster game with the out rules. When someone messes up they leave their card at that chair and they go to the back of the circle. Now you might end up with a new card. This game is very exciting and it really helps students (and teachers) to memorize their Latin vocabulary words!

Harry, Our Hairy Visitor

Mr. Rodrigo Martinez brought his long legged, hairy friend to visit the 4th grade class today. Harry sat in our classroom all day and learned math, Latin, science, and art with us!!!
