Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body-J. Anderson
A beautiful day to grab a book and enjoy the outdoors.

Symmetry
Today after learning about the line of symmetry,
the students had the chance to create
symmetrical designs using pattern blocks
and a ruler to represent the line of symmetry.

Beautifying Wenonah
This past week, I stayed after to school to prep and paint the door frame
into our classroom as well as a few others down the intermediate hallway.
Purple is the perfect color in my opinion.
Hopefully, I will be in this room for a few more years!

Down on the Farm Community Night at Wenonah
Welcome to Wenonah's Farm Night
This year's theme had everyone thinking about where our food comes from and what the future holds for all of us. Will farming practices change? The students worked hard to create a news article through Google Classroom using Google Docs. They became tech savvy and very aware of GMO's, organic farming, fish farming and industrial farming- to name just a few of the exciting topics.
Did you know that bugs are a sustainable food source and are more economically and environmentally friendly? Over 80% of the world already eats bugs! Would you?
Even the superintendent, Mr. Nolan, enjoyed the evening.
All Charged Up!
Using only a copper wire and a battery, the students were able to light up their lightbulbs proving 4-2 may have some future electricians in their midst!

Journeys Program in MPR
The fourth-grade students had the opportunity to learn about the Five Nations of the Iroquois from a visiting historian and a "real life" Indian. They chanted some words and were told a story about the importance of the Peacemaker in Indian culture. This was a perfect review before their chapter test!

November Field Trip Highlights
From candle-making to sign-making...
from writing with a goose feather and ink to drying it off with sand...
to making a pinched clay candle holder and a silhouette,
the students had a ton of fun while learning about life in Colonial times.
