New Things

I wont update them but if enough things happen I will share on a post okay.

Writers Workshop
 We did our checklists is it a good We did our checklists is it a good beginning does it include the heart of the story.  Does it include the heart of the story. Grammar Check,Complete Sentence.
More thing but it will take a long time.

Science

We talked about weathering like chemical weathering. Also Top Soil and how rocks break down like from tree roots. 

Long Term Projects

We had to bring cardboard and then we had to make a like play-dough. That is the Salt Lake Project.  Recipe 1 cup of Flour,2 cups of salt,3/4 cups of water. Stir it with your fingers until it feels like play-dough. If it's to sticky add more flour.

Hi?

Hallo! Ich bin der Junge. Ich heisse Albert. Du sprechen Deustch, ja oder nein--

oops. Did I mention that I sometimes go unconsciously into bouts of German?

Okay. Hi! I'm Albert and I go to this school called BASIS INDEPENDENT SILICON VALLEY IN SAN JOSE RIGHT BY I-280 AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SCREAMING.

[i get hyper]

Um... This is just an introduction. Anyway, I'm tired. There is a SCHOOL BUS. It leaves at 7:50a from the CUPERTINO LIBRARY and arrives at BASIS by A TIME I DON'T KNOW.

We have nine SUBJECTS each with a separate teacher. For PE, we have COACH REEDY. For Visual Arts, we have MS. DOSS. For Algebra II, I have MR. LINHARES. For Music, I have MR. ADAMS. For Drama, I have MS. WASHINGTON. For Humanities, I have MR. MARRUFO. For Science, I have MS. HAGOPIAN. For Engineering, I have DR. GHAFOORIPOUR [it took about 3 seconds for me to type that]. For Spanish, I have MR. BUSH.

What I did in Fourth Grade?

By Liza

My teacher is Mrs.Gust aka Ms Bogdan. I was really nervous about starting fourth grade but the people treated me as I was here last year. I wasn't even nervous at all. So on Mondays we have PE first thing. On Tuesday we have science with Mrs CrowFoot also Library with Mrs Orangee. Thursdays PE again but right after lunch. Trinity's face was so red. Lunch time is 12:55, recess 11:00. Friday we are going to start Computer Lab. Once I fell of the monkey bars so hard the air got knocked out of me. The same thing happened with Trinity except on the slide youch that should hurt. This year we are doing something where you log reading on https://www.biblionasium.com/kid_dashboard. That is very weird. Totally bad thing happened today a Lauren or Lauryn has fainted today we got to go to the next door classroom. I have just started tennis yay!!!Lauren Faints 3 times a week because of something that happened to her it’s the 2nd time I saw it. First time Sep 24 next 25.We had our first art project and computer lab. Lauren got to go into a wheelchair again for the 3rd time. It turns out that I am pretty good at four square. I can get people out and I don't mean to reflexe. So there are 3 groups for math. Begginer,Intermediate,Advanced. Beginner is Mrs. Baird. Intermediate is Mrs. Korte. Advanced is Mrs. Gust. I am in with... Mrs Gust. I got lunch with Mrs.Gust and I got a donut for a treat.:)My first Conference Week no early days.My account like for Drive is ck.eshchehlik@students.srvusd.net. I have fell on my head. We have switched jobs and tables I am 2. Job: Lunch Helper. We are getting our first report card on Friday.  Now we are Having Read-in Day. We just had our fun run on Wednesday.  Friends,Trinity,Isabella,Mia,Jenice,Ankita,Laurens,Lauryn,Sopie,Samuta,Lana,Athena,Ankita,Zoe,Sarah

Math Time

So here’s what we did in math so far but I will keep adding more. Math is about multiplying and dividing this year. If you didn't know it is were you use your mathematical thinking.

1. We did a math Test to determine which group we are in. Like advanced, low, medium.

2. First, place value which kinda lead to number 3.

3. We started to talk about rounding. Not like last year, bigger numbers

.

4. We started to talk about regrouping numbers. Like addition and subtraction with 3 numbers.

5. Now we are doing Mental Math, we are talking about ways to solve them

6. We started to review Multiplication for homework we didn't do it.

7. We did a multiplication test. We are doing another one tomorrow.

8. We practiced our facts. (Girls did better)

9. We did patterns like 45,55 what's next(answer:  ∞)

10.  Multiplication Factor Findings.(More info look in top)

11.We did Prime and Composite. A Prime number is like 7 only 7*1 and 1*7 6 is a composite 6*1, 1*6, 3*2, 2*3,

12. We did like dividing a bit. And trying to solve things with what we already know.

13. We are now doing 2-digit*1-digit multiplication.

14. Now we are doing partial Products

15. We are starting to do Division

Science

The first thing we are talking about Rocks and Minerals. We started talking about igneous rocks last week. Now we are talking about sedimentary rocks. The projects are really fun. We made like a model of how igneous rocks were formed with crayon. We did a model of sand stone rocks. We did a replica of fossils I am waiting for it to dry.  We got our sand stone rocks. We did a model of metamorphic rocks when they squish together. We did it with clay. We talked about weathering like chemical weathering. Also Top Soil and how rocks break down like from tree roots. This week we played....BINGO!!! We talk about deposition and erosion. Our model is we have a sugar cube and then we put water over it and saw how it breaks up like water in a crack. We did a map of the world to represent the moving plates. We did a model of earthquakes. With blocks, 4 rubber balls, rubber bands, and a binder cover. We did a model volcano that actually exploded

Writers Workshop

Writers Workshop is when people write stories. For Example how can I make this story better? We have been doing a new thing in 4th grade Writers Workshop. Here is what it is about. We have been writing true stories and have been practicing them. I have chosen the time when I Scared my Brother. LOL . We are going into publishing after a while. One strategy is a conch. We are now taking a break and starting to do superheroes, Hurrah! Now we are starting to do Fiction Stories. The Ferris Wheel Disappeared. We did our first draft. Then edited it. For editing the inner story and outer story the outer story is the senses what you see, feel, hear, smell, and sometimes taste. The inner story is the internal thinking. What you are thinking. Then we did our 2nd Draft.(Edit)Now I finished my 3rd draft 3 pages long . I did my final touches and I am starting the final draft. We did our checklists is it a good story. We did our checklists is it a good beginning does it include the heart of the story. Grammar Check, Complete Sentence. Does it include the heart of the story. Grammar Check, Complete Sentence.

I have finished my story so I will type it as soon as I get it.

We are now starting to write realistic Fiction.

                                                                            

Readers Workshop

This is what Readers workshop is about,you don't know then look here.Reader's Workshop is when you read a book and you make jots of it. For Example,"Lucy has wanted a dog her whole life a cute little poodle." I can relate to Lucy when I wanted a cute little doggy. You basically think on what you are reading. Like this,"Lucy saw the dog and gasped..."I think Lucy didn't get the dog she wanted.We have been reading a book called,"Flora and Ullyses." It all started with a vacuum believe it or not. It is about a girl who has adventures with a superhero squirrel.We have been talking about choosing the right book.Our class website is https://sites.google.com/a/srvusd.net/mrs-gust-s-ingenious-4th-graders/. Need to remember that.I think Flora's mom is still trying to kill Ullyses. Folk Tale, we read Snow white Disney and the Grimm brothers. We talked about Myths,Legends,Tall Tales,Fairy-tales,and Fables. Also Grammar what is in a sentence? Is it a complete sentence? Is it a Fragment a Run-on or perfect. My least Favorite. We are reading the book Tiger Rising.

Art

Art is where you get creative anything with paint,drawing,or your best work of it. Like sculpting is fun if you like it.

1.Our first art thing is the Mona Lisa. We did a lesson on how to copy with the hair,eyes,ears,nose,ext.

2. Then we did the shades of black and drew a cat.

3. We drew a tree for Fall then we put tishue paper over it and a beautiful peice of art.

4. We are going to do the hands. From Michelangelo, where god touches’ Adam.

1. We did this Science Brochure were we choose a region and right about it.

2. We had to bring cardboard and then we had to make a like play-dough. That is the Salt Lake Project.  Recipe 1 cup of Flour, 2 cups of salt,3/4 cups of water. Stir it with your fingers until it feels like play-dough. If it's to sticky add more flour.

3. We have to do a presentation on our culture. On Google drive we make a presentation. Also we can bring food for a feast.

**Extra Credit**          

We were doing an advertisement for a place in the region we chose. I chose Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Computer Lab

It is where you create or type in 4th Grade.We usually do type to learn 4. Sometimes we go on Google Drive. We can do presentations on google drive and make drafts of writing.

Parties

1. Halloween Party

Library

It is where you check out books and read them.

Colors Stand for each Section.
