The 4th graders were SO excited to finally get together with their kindergarten buddies. They put together a list of fun facts about themselves, and then several questions to ask their buddies. The information they gathered is being typed up by each 4th grader, along with a picture of them with their buddy, to be displayed in both the primary and intermediate hallways for all to see and enjoy. We look forward to monthly get together's for reading and doing projects with our buddies.

Fourth graders continue to plan and flash draft realistic fiction stories in their writer's notebooks. Last week students used the 4th grade narrative writing check list to conduct an inquiry of a 4th grade mentor text. They were able to evaluate the piece of writing and see what has to be included in a realistic fiction piece at the 4th grade level. Students reflected on what surprised them and what they learned. As we come to the end of the unit, students will be learning how to write dialogue with correct punctuation, write using paragraphs, revise, and edit using their check lists. They will be publishing one of their stories to be displayed.
