alicemercer — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 23:41:49 +0000

Please look back at these goals you set at the beginning of the year. Answer the following questions:

What was your goal?
Did you meet your goal? If you had a goal of doing better on the CST, we don’t know that yet, but your last benchmark test should give you an idea of how you are doing.
What helped you meet your goal? Or, what kept you from meeting your goal?

Last week, we shared our hopes and dreams to be added to messages going up in a weather balloon from Sparks, Nevada. Below are pictures from the balloon and here are all the responses including ones from Oak Ridge:

Please look at the pictures, and read the hopes.

High Hopes

A class of fourth graders in Sparks, Nevada will be sending up a high altitude balloon with messages of hope on Thursday May 27th. What is a message of hope?

Something you think our community (Oak Park) needs;
Something that you think would improve our school;
Something that would make the world a better place;

You can read more about it here. Please leave a comment with your message of hope here, and I will give it to Mr. Crosby to include on the balloon. Remember, you are representing our school and community. Make sure your comment is appropriate, and reflects your best work. Thank you!

I think this is the largest number of comments I’ve seen to date on a classroom blog!

Reply to Mr. Fryer letting him know why there are so many comments, why you write comments on this blog, and how you feel about writing on the blog. You can be honest, but please be polite. Thank you!

Your best memory

What is your best memory of your time at Oak Ridge? It does not just have to be a time you were in class. It could be a time with friends, a field trip, or something after school.

Music and Symbolism

alicemercer — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:33:06 +0000

We’ve learned about figurative language, which is a big part of the lyrics in music. Today, I would like you to use words, images, and music to tell me about yourself. Go to this link from Black Eyed Peas:

Planting Ideas

and create a plant with pictures, words, and sounds that tell me about you. At the end, please send what you have created to our grade email account that is on the wall in the computer lab.
