Team201 is back in action!

Hello 201,

I can't wait to see you all tomorrow morning, bright, early, and ready to get back to business!  Here are some of the activities that you can look forward to:

  • Edmodo!  Tomorrow afternoon, I will send home a letter that contains our group code so that each student can join our Edmodo group.  I have already posted the Week 1 Study Guide and Vocaubulary/Spelling Menu.  These activities will be due next Friday.
  • Fourth Grade Superheros are on the way!   This week we will embark on a creative writing and art project.  If you could use superpowers to help change the world, what would you do?  I can't wait to find out!
  • Family Matters!   Pod 200 will dive into the study of all things Matter.  What is matter?  What are the physical properties of matter?   How can we define and compare physical and chemical changes of matter?   We will use these questions to drive our unit of study.  
  • CAC!  The calendar may be revised slightly, but it is coming soon!  Our topic is.....Matter! The 200 teachers are planning some amazing arts-integrated activities and we can't wait to get started.
  • Do you know your place.......value?  This week we will explore place value concepts in small groups, working with the teacher, partners, and playing problem- solving games.
Big News: My Donors Choose grant is now fully funded, and 201 students will reap the benefits!  Each student in 201 will soon be receiving their very own copy of Super Science, a monthly magazine published by Scholastic.  We will be using the magazines for projects in class and at home.  Thank you donors!  :-)

See you soon 201,

Mrs. Ginn
