Our first poll - and our first full star chart!

Hello all!

I invite all of you to participate in our first weekly poll. Think about which of the adventures you'd most like to have, and then cast your vote! Voting will be open for a week, and then we'll post a new poll. This is a fun way for us to learn more about the members of our class and their opinions. We can have polls about both silly and serious things. Students, if any of you think of a great poll question, write it down with at least four choices for answers and give it to me sometime. We can use one of your ideas for the weekly poll!

I'd also like to congratulate the fourth graders on their first completed "star chart" of the year. The class earns a star in moments when the students REALLY impress me - when they're working together beautifully, using awesome critical thinking skills, staying on task, or doing something else that makes me say, "Wow!" After ten stars, the class earns ten minutes of special time to do something fun together. Today, we spent the last ten minutes of the afternoon playing a few rounds of the game "Heads Up, Seven Up." It was fun for me to see students' strategies and sneakiness as they decided which classmates to pick!

Have a good weekend! You can start studying for your quarter exams, if you want...
