Stone Mountain

Last week me and my class went to Stone Mountain G.A.We got to see a real Indian powwow.While we were there my group went on the sky ride first, then we went to see Journey To The Center Of The Earth in 4-D! last we went to the barnyard and shot foam balls out of cannons.



Our Reading Stations

In Miss Ford's class we always do reading first.  In reading we talk about difforent charaicters.  The charaicters we talk about are flat, round, static, and dynamic.  For those different kinds of characters we read a book for an example. An example of a dynamic character is Ruby in Ruby the Copy Cat.  For a static character we read about Miss Srarh Jane Heart in First Day Jitters.  Reading is my favorite part of the day.

My Buddy

I want to tell you about our class buddys!

Our class buddys are in k5 and they teacher's are Mrs.Foster, Mr.Todd, and Mrs. Capps. My buddy's are Carlton and Lala.  We have done one craft together, and it was a star coved in blue and red paper. We created this to celebrate Constitution Day.  We went to their classroom.  Mrs.Foster told us who our buddies were,  and they were all sitting on the carpit.  I was happy for what I got that day.  We ate football brownies and Hi-C.  The food was good.  Before we knew it we had to leave and all our buddys hugged!

What's the Weather?

Miss Ford's 4th Graders visit with Meteorologist Kendra Kent!!!

On Friday, October 1st our class visited with Kendra Kent.  She is the chief meteorologist at Fox News.  We talked about hurricanes.  We talked about how to be safe during storms.  She showed us a PowerPoint, and we got to ask her some questions.  We asked her things like; What was the scariest weather she ever reported on, and how hard it is to be a meteorologist.  It was a fun Friday afternoon talking and learning about the weather.  We even got our picture on the 6:30 news show!

I'm Alexis, and I want to tell you about our Native American villages.  We learned what kinds of houses they live in.We also learned what they eat, hunt, make things out of, and what they use to make or to hunt with.We actually got to make models of their houses.We got to other things like a Birch box (my group), or the moccasins (a shoe).We watched videos and a read a book to learn about the tribes. That's all we did with the Native American villages.  Bye, but if you are following us thanks a lot!

Creating A Caring Classroom,
Miss Ford

We were learning about the steps in a scientific investigation.  We put a gummy worm in 100 ml of water, and another in an empty cup.The next day we saw that the gummy worm in water got bigger, and the one without water stayed the same.  Our manipulating variable was adding water, our responding variable was gummy worm growth.  It was a very fun project that we will never forget.
