Field Trip to Old York

Our class had a great time visiting Old York yesterday.  We learned so much and did many different hands-on activities relating to our Colonial unit.

Everyone looked great in their costumes!

Textiles During Colonial Days

  Carding the wool was a lot of work
     Everyone had a chance to use the loom

We did a little stitching too

Colonial Games
The class played many games made of wood and most of the children said they were more fun than the electronic games we play today.  


 


 
All the students had their silhouettes drawn

Colonial Cooking


 Churning the butter

We ate a delicious dinner.  We had stew, cornbread, biscuits, and apple crisp.



 One Room Schoolhouse

We read from their primers.
 

 We did a little math on slates.

 We even learned about some of the punishments given to students during the Colonial days.


I hope you enjoy these pictures of our day. Thank you so much to all of our chaperones!

New iPad Apps

Students who had all their work caught up this week and last week were able to try two new apps on the iPads. 

One of the apps we used was Sakura Quick Math.

Students practiced all four of the math operations and used their fingers to write the answers on the screens.



Many students were able to set new records of the number of problems completed in the time given. 



The second app we tried was The Opposites.  It pops up words and students have to click on the words which are antonyms.  We even had some of our vocabulary words appear. 

You may want to try these apps out at home too.  If you know a great educational app I would love to hear about it.

Welcome to 4B's Blog

I am going to try to post information and pictures about exciting things happening in 4B on this blog page.  I will continue to have my Moodle page open, so parents and students can still access websites and things on there.  I plan to try to start moving some of the most used websites over to this site, so hopefully this will be a place for you to get all your information about our class. Also, I will start to post the homework for the week on this page.  I will continue to post the homework on Moodle for a few more weeks while we transition over to the blog.

Please enter your email on the right side of the page if you would like to get an email when I update this page.
