First Week of School

We had a great first week of school! 
We made neighborhood maps, talked about our summer, made new friends, and created time capsules.


In our time capsules we included:
  • a sealed note from our parents
  • pictures, trinkets that represent our interests
  • a piece of string we used to measure our height
  • our goals for the year
  • a list of our favorite foods, books, movies, and games
Mrs. Alaniz will "bury" them, and her students  will "dig" them up on the last day of school.  

We also set up our Writer's Notebook and began writing every day!
Fourth grade is awesome!

    Time capsules are fun! On the last day of school you've forgotten all about them! Keep Writing Fourth Grade!

  2. I love the time capsules idea! What do you use for the actual time capsules? What does that note from the parent include? Do you happen to have a document where you explain everything you do in a bit more detail? I'd love to borrow some of your ideas!! Hope you had a great day!

  3. Mrs. Allen,

    Thanks so much for your comment! We use Pringles cans for the actual time capsules. We would love for you to 'borrow' this idea. I will send you the information and post pics on this blog.

    Hope your class had a great day as well!

    Mrs. Alaniz
