We had a great first week of fourth grade.
Nate had a great attitude each day which I'm sure won't last, but it was refreshing.
Last year ended in laziness and annoyance. Not fun.
We had a fun time with our new Expedition Earth geography curriculum.
We had friends come over to work on globes each day except Monday. We had two absolute disasters(shrinking balloons), but by my third globe I was a pro. The globe we ended up keeping was my second try, and has some "mountain ranges" to add dimension. This balloon started shrinking, but then Dave was able to blow it back up. Our friends have the third attempt and it is PERFECT. Seriously. By the time we go to Mexico I think we should make some pinatas!
I was worried when we removed the balloon, but it survived! It is now hanging up in the classroom! And now we will begin our journey around the world!
We read a super cute book on Friday as part of Expedition Earth
The book is called How to Bake a Pie and See the World. And of course afterwards we made a pie and it was a delicious way to end our first week!
Nate was even enthusiastic about art!
He illustrated his name with things that he loves... Let me explain his choices...
N- a red Lego brick , Hot-wheels track, and a hockey stick
a- Reese's peanut butter cup and a car
T- Wii remote and a BBQ flavored Pringles can
E- Remote control, sucker, hot-wheels car, hockey pucks
