This week we are wrapping up our I love to read moth.  On Wednesday the kids can dress up in wacky clothes, on Thursday we have Douglas Wood coming to Sibley.  On Friday kids can duct tape Mrs. Schulzt to a chair (if they completed a read-o BINGO sheet).

Reading Buddies

On Friday we went to Mr. Wanzek's room for reading buddies. The kids got to wear their pajamas and read with the first graders.

PJ day and a Read In

Tomorrow-
Students can wear their pjs and participate in a read in.  We are visiting 1st graders for their buddy reading.  You can turn in your READ DO BINGO sheets tomorrow too!

The commissioner from the MN Department of Education is also coming for a visit tomorrow.  More details to come.

Social Studies and Math

In social studies we have been researching different regions of the United States.  The students picked a state and now sent a letter to other 4th grade elementary classrooms in that state.  We are waiting to hear back from other schools.

It is time to learn about FRACTIONS!! We are using our fractions tiles to help as manipulatives. 

SIBLEY MUSICAL

The kids did a great job on the spring musical !  Loved seeing them sing, dance, and act.
