Approaching Year's End

We're closing in on the end of the school year (13 days left...but who's counting? ha!) I don't want to speak too soon, but I've been really impressed with my students' work ethic this close to the finish line. They are still soaking up everything I'm trying to cram into their brains before I send them on to 5th grade, and they've even gone so far as to cheer when I tell them our plans for the day. Who are these kids?!

Enjoy the following pics and videos :)

3 of my boys were having a hard time getting along, so I kept them in at recess one day and made them play some team-building activities. One of the boys asked, "Ms. Christine, did you make us do this so that we would become buddies?" Can't get anything past them!

The instructions were to write where you saw signs of weathering and erosion outside of the school.

"Ms. Christine, come look at what I can do with my hair today!"

Observe the student on the right. He's doing a pretty good impression of how I feel at the end of some days!

I told them they could decide the end-of-the-year classroom decorations. "We want a beach with a coconut tree and we'll each decorate a coconut!"

We just finished our Geology unit, and I taught them this song to help them remember the 3 types of rocks (shout out to Steph B. for the arm motion ideas!)

Please pray for continued focus so that we can finish strong!
