I am so excited to work with this fantastic group of 4th graders and hope that you (parents and students alike) have taken the time to check out our class blog. Each time that we have gifted, a different student adds a post to our blog about various activities that we worked on in class that particular day. I can't help but to join in on the fun and will be adding my own posts to update everyone on our classroom events as well. Over the past few weeks, we have been working as detectives throughout our own CSI unit. We have examined our fingerprints and are working on solving a logic puzzle mystery about some missing honey. We have also been studying various artists and composers including Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat and Frederic Chopin just to name a few. Has anyone ever played Tetris? Looked at an Escher painting? Well mix the two together and you'll get an idea of another project that we have been working on over the last few weeks-tessellations! After a selecting s shape, many rotations and turns later, they are all glued down on a piece of paper and are in the process of being colored in. Whew- and our field trip to JMOCA is just around the corner. We are having such a great year and I'll continue to keep you "posted" about our class!
