Singular to Plural

Today Ms. Strum reviewed with us the rules for changing a singular noun to a plural noun. Ms. Strum divided into groups. We were each given six to eight singular nouns. Ms. Strum told us that we would work with our group and determine what rule we would use to change the noun from a singular to a plural noun.

Andrew and Kerronta hard at work!

Ms. Strum told us to write our singular nouns on the sentence strips provided. We glued these words on the singular noun side of the construction paper. With our group, we looked at the singular noun and determined what rule we would follow to change it to a plural noun. We wrote the plural form of the noun on the sentence strip and glue it beside the singular noun. Ms. Strum had us write on the plural noun sentence strip what rule we followed, and what we changed.

Working together to finish our work!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Field Trip to the Symphony

Keosha and LaQuisha ready to go!

Today we went on our 1st Field Trip! We went to a very special building to hear the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra. All of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students were able to go! It was a great experience.

Ready for our field trip!

What excitement! We are now ready to hear the Symphony perform! We went into the hall to find our seats. The Symphony came onto the stage. They told us that they were going to take us on a trip around the world. As you can tell in the pictures below, there are suitcases on the stage. Random students in the audience were able to pick a numbered suitcase. They had music to play for every place that we went! It was a great experience.

The Symphony Orchestra

Thank you to the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra for performing for us! It was a GREAT performance!

Black History Rap Practice

We have the BEST music teacher ever! In one month, all the fourth graders at our school will be presenting a Black History Program. Ms. Strum tells us all the time that we are the best class in the whole school. Since we are the best class, Mrs. Williams wrote us our very own rap to perform at the program. The rap is entitled I am a Promise.

What GREAT music students!

Today Mrs. Williams came to our room to begin teaching us I am a Promise. Mrs. Williams broke us into several groups. The rap breaks us into different groups. I am a Promise is about us knowing that we can do anything that we want to, if we put our mind to it!

Working hard with Mrs. William on our rap Mrs. Williams broke us into our groups so that we could begin practicing and learning our words to the rap. I am a Promise was so fast! We have a lot of practicing to do!

Look at these rappers!

Please come to our Black History Program! You will have a great time! :)

Happy 70th Birthday Junior League!

Today we were very excited! We helped celebrate the Junior League's 70th Birthday! We were so anxious. Today Mrs. Tosha and Mrs. Drew came to our room to read us a very special book called The Quiltmaker's Gift.

Talking with Mrs. Drew and Mrs. Tasha

Mrs. Drew and Mrs. Tasha asked us what it means to volunteer. We told them that when we volunteer, we help others.

Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Drew reading The Quiltmaker's Gift!

After reading The Quiltmaker's Gift, Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Drew talked to us about what we learned from the story. Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Drew taught us that it is better to give than to receive!

Our Class with Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Drew

After Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Drew read to us, Mrs. Suzanne came by to do an art project with us. Mrs. Suzanne reviewed The Quiltmaker's Gift with us.

Quiltmaking with Mrs. Suzanne

Mrs. Suzanne gave each one of us a quilt square. We talked with Mrs. Suzanne about what we would draw on our quilt square. We decided that we would draw hands or hearts. The hands or hearts would represent the Junior League helping others!

Armand, Xavier, and Cienoshia working hard on their quilt square.

Once all the quilt squares were done, the Junior League would take all the quilt squares to a quiltmaker to be put together. The quilts will be on display at the Junior League House!

Khalil hard at work!

We were so excited to be part of such a special day for the Junior League! Happy 70th Birthday to the Junior League! Thank you so much for everything! We had a great day!
