A Dictionary/Thesaurus of my very own!

Thank you so much to Mrs. Ziegler's Great Uncle Joe from Oklahoma for coming to visit our classroom and giving us an incredible gift.  As part of the "Dictionary Project" each student received his/her own copy of Webster's Dictionary/Thesaurus from the Cross Timbers Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma.  

Joe spoke about the importance of literacy and reading to learn.  He hopes that they will use this dictionary this year and in the years to come to grow in their learning.

Thank you!

Thank you to the students and Mrs. Ziegler for letting me teach their first quarter of 4th grade.  They have been a wonderful class!  It has been a pleasure to get to know each one of them as an individual.  They have so much to share and contribute to the world.  Thank you parents for taking the time to raise these students and loving them.  Each student is special and I'm so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to get to know them.  I will truly miss them!

The Three Sisters

Miss Katie, from Ag in the classroom came in to visit.  She shared the story of The Three Sisters and the different legends that were told.  The Three Sisters are: corn, beans  and squash.  

Writing Similes

Our class has been learning about similes.  A simile  is a comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, using the words "like" or "as".  Here, they practiced writing their own simile to share!
