Tales of a Fourth Grade Teacher. Saturday, August 3, 2013. NOOOOOOOOOOO It can't be so! In my fourth and fifth graders language Oh Em Geee!

Saturday, May 23, 2015. Five for Friday.a day late 5.23. Here's a look at our last week and a half. My math class started Course 2 Coding from Code.org. My district is implementing a coding/computer science scope and sequence for next year. I decided to give my kiddos a head start as the new implementation will start in elementary. They loved it, especially when they would finally beat/figure out a challenging level. We played "4 Men On A Couch" as part of our last day of school. The kids ate it up!
