Sometimes when you are in the fourth grade you can challenge other classes in Around The World. { Multiplication} When you are in the fourth grade you will go on amazing trips such as, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, The Children's Museum, and Conner's Prairie. But since it is so big you have to wait till the end of the school year. I have a question. Did you start division? In fourth grade division is much harder. We do 1 digit, 2 digit, and 3 digit numbers. Really hard! Well since you guys are going to become fourth graders you will eat lunch with the 5th graders. Which is us. { ALMOST} The ISTEP test is much harder in the fourth grade than the 3rd grade. Alot of stuff could happen in the fourth grade.You will absolutely love it! You will also help 1st graders with reading and math. I wish I could stay in fourth grade. {not} Finally, you should have fun and listen to your teacher, and after that everything will be just fine.

Jacob H,

Welcome To Fourth Grade

In a couple of months you'll be walking into the fourth grade. Fourth grade is not just any grade. There are so many fun things to do. Especially the field trips. Believe it or not you get to go to Indianapolis! Doesn't that sound fun?
Not eveything is fun in fourth grade, of course. The books are like twice the size!! Which means twice the work!!!! You learn all the same subjects: Reading, Health, Math, Social Studies, Writing, and Science. Like alays you will go to art, gym, music, lunch, and recess. By the way recess and lunch are switched around.
Guess what. There is a really cool thing that you can do in fourth grade. It is called the Haley Elementary Bowling Club. This is how it works. Your parent signs a sheet saying you are allowed to spend Thursday evening bowling. You turn it into your teacher, with the five dollars that buys you shoes and a ball. When the club starts Mr. Megles or Mr. Babitt drives you in a mini bus to the Georgetown bowling alley. You can bowl two games and eat snacks with your friends. At five o'clock a family member takes you home. Remeber all it costs is five dollars each week. It is really fun. I think you would like it!
Now you know what to expect in August, when school starts. HAVE FUN IN FOURTH GRADE!!!!!!

Our Class

Our class is a fourth grade class with 9 and 10 year olds. We have class pet named Slithern who is a corn snake. Everyone likes Sithern and Mr. Megles used to bring in his dog, Gracie. The school year started with a quiet class in room 103. Then we began to connect with each other and we became very LOUD!!!! Most of us like to draw and use our imaginations. Our favorite day of the week is Friday, because we have all worked hard all week. After lunch Mr. Megles reads to us. Some of the books he has read is Trapped in Death Cave, Who Stole the Twelve Days of Christmas, Who Stole Halloween, Hatchet, Because of Winn Dixie, Nancy Drew, The Kid in the Red Jacket, and Fourth Grade Rats. We also play games like spelling basketball, spongeboard spelling, product game, and Around the World. If you receive an 80% or better on your quarterlies, Mr. Megles treats those students to pizza, Wendy's, or milkshakes.
