life and times of P4

Back to school time is always busy.  This year is no exception.  Here are some snapshots of the first three weeks of P4.  

JaQuin makes a great lookout on the playground.

Jose has already found his comfortable reading spot in our room,

Chantel is a woman after my own heart.  Taking a moment to relax with a story by Mo Willems.  I don't think I will ever get too old for ANY of his books.

Jorge relaxing outside in the shade. 

These girls love these swings.

Mrs. Preville: "Point to the blog!!!!" :-)

This year I have already taught my students so much about labels and organization.  Cristina's desk is organized just perfectly. :-)

I have also taught my students about one of my favorite things ever ---my label maker.  This is a close up of Cristina's desk labels.  I'm pretty sure some of my students have come to love the label maker too. 

Everything at Cristina's desk is labeled AND kept in the correct place!

Even our community table buckets are labeled.  This bucket was looking pretty good -  so I had to take a picture.   I hope it says like this ALL year! :-)

Another successful day in 4th grade!

It's going to be a great great year!!

P4 is a room FULL of engaged learners!!!

This week we have focused on what it looks like to be an ENGAGED LEARNER.  

Engaged learners are an active part of their life as a student - they ask questions when they don't understand, work together on classroom tasks & focus on their learning.  Look how P4 students described engaged learners. 

Reya & Chantel: Engaged learners are the best!

Cristina, Jamiya & Gabriella: Engaged learning rocks the town!

Kevin & Jose: Look what we did!

Jorge & Jonathan

JaQuin & America

Nadia & Mario: Engaged learning is the best!

Luis & Angel: We rock at being engaged!
