Reading/Language - Our new reading program is very exciting. We are learning together as a group and then breaking into smaller groups for more reading and language work and doing some pretty cool inquiry projects. Your child has log-in information for the Lead 21 website. The Spelling City website can be used to practice our weekly spelling words.

Science - Fourth graders are immersed in Science lessons that center around tested indicators on our state assessment. There is a website for our Science curriculum which has several word games to study vocabulary and important ideas. Our first unit of study is Life Science, followed by Physical Science and finally Earth Science topics.

Limericks November 2010
There once was a boat at sea
Which carried my mom and me,
But then I grew up,
And got a cute pup,
I still remember the sea.

by Ellie

There once was a dog named Bud,
He thought that he was a stud.
He chased a black cat,
And got hit with a bat,
And then he fell into the mud.

by Leona

The kitty cat was brand new
And now I hear its mew
She jumps in my lawn,
I will name her Fawn,
And I will give her to you.

by Sam

There once was a boy named Pane,
He lived in a white house in Maine,
His sister ate frogs
And liked to lick dogs,
So Pane left her home on a chain.

Everyone called him Shane,
His brother was mean,
And had ugly jeans,
And he wanted to go to Spain.

Then started to gobble,
And someone yelled me me me.

His pet cat ate a rat,
And become very fat,
And now he lives in pain.

I once was a bee on a swing,
I fell off and broke my wing,
Tears came to my eyes,
Mom brought a surprise,
And gave me a diamond ring.

There once was a bird that flew west,
He had a big worm in his vest,
The worm wiggled loose,
And fell on a goose,
So he cried all the way to his nest.

There once was a boy from Spain,
His parents lived in Maine,
He loved Mexico,

He loved to sing the refrain.

There once was a funny lime,
That laughed at every rhyme,
He lived in a spleen,
He was very green,
And he always had a chime.

But he never learned how to look,
So he ran on the street
And met a man named Pete,
He also had a sister named Snook.

There once was a boy named Fee,
Who lived by the very blue sea,
He got a bad fish,
Who made a wish,
So Fee went out to ski.

by Otis

A boy that swam to the sea,
Spilled a cup of tea,
He floated to shore,
That was a big bore,
Then he yelled out "Yippee"!

by Phillip

There once was a whale who swam,
His favorite meal was cold Spam,
He floated to sea,
So he could be free,
And then he made friends with a man.

by Dakota

His parents lived in Spain,
He caught a big fish,
And made his favorite dish,
And his brother thinks he is lame.

There once was a girl from Spain.
She liked to play in the rain.
She liked to eat rice
She was very nice,
And she dreamed of a candy cane.

by Morgan

There once was a boat at sea,
Someone spilled a cup of tea.
The boat tipped and sank
And hit a rock named Hank,
And went overboard and broke his knee.
