Iditarod Beginning

I hope you are all enjoying your last couple of days of vacation!  

On the Thursday before vacation each student chose a musher who is competing in the Iditarod Dog Sled Race across Alaska.  Each year my class learns about the Iditarod as we read the book Black Star, Bright Dawn.  We will be starting to read the book on Monday.  The students will be tracking their musher and doing activities related to the race.  The race actually starts on March 2nd, so I wanted to list the mushers each of the students have chosen in case they want to check how they are doing before Monday on www.iditarod.com .  We will check our mushers to see who wins for our class in about a week.

News for 4B

-  I hope you are all enjoying the fresh snow.  Please remember fourth graders need to have boots on in order to go in the snow.

-  Last Thursday, we had a new UNH student start working in our classroom.  Her name is Miss Cornwell.  She is studying to be a teacher and will be working until May in our classroom on Thursdays.

- Our Valentine's Day party will be on Thursday.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered to bring in food or paper goods for the party.  Please remember to send in ingredients with your food, so we can check for food allergies.  Also, I wanted to remind you that students may bring in cards on Thursday for their classmates.  Cards should not be sent in with any types of candy or food due to food allergies.

- We started book groups last week.  Students each have a calendar showing which days their group will meet and what chapters should be done by the time they come to school on these days.  They should also be writing notes with questions or thought to share with their group.

Biblionasium

On Friday, I showed the class part of the website biblionasium.com .  This is a website which was recommended to me by some of the other fourth grade teachers.  It is a place where students and I can recommend books to individual or groups of students in the class.  We will be looking at the website more this week.  Unfortunately, it seems like the website is a little slower when all the kids get on at school, so I have told them they can also recommend books from home.  I am hoping it will work a little quicker at home.

I am happy to see so many students went on bibionasium.com over the weekend to look at it more and to recommend some great books to their classmates.
