Working together to add Elevation Levels based on their group's key. I have to say, these are some of the best I've seen yet!!! Way to work together 4S! :)

We made Cells!
We made cells in Ziplock Bags using beans and hair gel! Some of us chose to do an animal cell and some of us chose to do a plant cell. The difference? Plan cells have a cell wall and a chloroplast and animal cells don't.
Dough Island pictures
From painting their boxes, to combining the dough, the children had to work together to start their big project! Up next: painting elevation levels, adding a key, a compass rose and laditude and longitude lines. Great job so far! Some of the best yet!

GRACE AND ANNIE’S BLOGPOST!
Hello 4s! Grace and Annie here. We hope your pictures turned out good because Monday was picture day. The weather this week has been nice and a little windy. The leaves are changing colors because it is fall out. The weather is getting colder. We like having recess outside, how about you? We just finished Captain Nobody on Tuesday. We thought it was an awesome and funny book. We might read the book Shadows next. It’s a Bluestem. This week we also finished up the Jr. Atlas in Social Studies. We also finished up soccer this week in gym and now we are doing football. We also had a microscope quiz and we even got to look through them. We are also learning about cells in Science. We made cells in science too. In social studies we made landforms with dough. The landforms look great. I hope everyone liked their landforms. We are also switching classes for reading and it is fun. Each class is reading a different novel book. In math we are switching too. Right now we are in Chapter 3. But Mr. Jewell is not doing it because he does his own math with his class. That’s Grace and Annie’s blog post, hope you enjoyed it! J

Updates for this week and next
Hi 4S,
We are on our way Nebraska right now. For parents, as an update, my husband's grandmother passed away unexpectedly Wednesday morning. We are on our way to be with family and to attend church services and her funeral on Monday.
With that being said, we will have the same substitute tomorrow (Friday) Monday and Tuesday. I will be back Wednesday and looking forward to it. All subjects and tests are scheduled as planned.
Tomorrow, we still have the Amelia and Eleanor Go For A Ride reading test, the spelling test over list three and the chapter 2 math test.
Next week, the children will be taking the Focus Word Spelling test on Thursday as it's a short week due to the Institute Day on Friday. A reminder note should go home tomorrow and, of course, the list is on Spellingcity.com.
Also, we will have a "cold read" over, The Emperor and the Kite on Tuesday before we start our novel unit on Wednesday with the entire 4th grade. The children can read this story during "Read to Self," "Read to Someone" times and they can also listen to the story while reading along at our Listening Center. And with any story, they can bring their text book home to read at home. Just be sure to bring the book back because they can use it for the test!
We will start Chapter 3 in math on Monday and will be switching again with Mrs. Fraser's class. Chapter 3 focuses on Estimation vs Exact answers, rounding, and adding and subtracting greater numbers.
We are starting our Landforms Unit in social studies next week and we will start our "Dough Islands" on Thursday when we paint our boxes. Keep an eye out for a "Dough Recipe" letter coming home soon. You will make the dough at home and bring it in to use in creating the dough islands in class. (Don't worry, the recipe is easy with just water, salt and flour!) This unit also incorporates many different map skills such as latitude/longitude, elevation, using a map key, compass rose, and cardinal and intermediate directions.
In science, we will finish up cells next week and before moving on to classifying living things, we will create a cell using beans and hair gel...yes, beans and hair gel! :)
We are all looking forward to Annie and Grace's Blog next week. Thank you girls for being patient and posting next week instead of Friday. Don't forget, you can take pictures, post a survey question, or anything else creative that you'd like!
That's it for now. Thank you for your support and kind words. I am looking forward to being back home already.
Enjoy your weekend with family and friends,
Mrs. Schroeder
