Weekly News

Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
We have been doing division facts in math and have been time tested on them. We also learned multiplication and division vocabulary which we used for math bingo! We have been practicing problem solving so we can have good experience when the professional teachers score us! For the rest of this week and a few of the upcoming weeks we will have division facts for homework and we will also be reviewing what we learned.

Mrs. Crowther’s fourth grade class has been doing Vermont History studies since February break. We have been seeing pictures of what it was like for a school child, in the 1800’s and documents that some of the children wrote. We also had a day ware we did everything we could, to replicate an 1800’s one-room schoolhouse. We also replicated (with more technology of course) what materials they would have, and we also turned out the lights. Before we did that, we were paired-up and saw different artifacts, and had to identify them.

We also went to the Capital building and the Museum right next to it. In the Capital building, we went around looking at all the important legislator people, and the presidents born in Vermont. When we went to the museum, we looked at artifacts from Ebijah Wheelock’s house.
