4th Grade

Games in 4th grade are really fun. Like always you have to do work before you play games. In Mr. Megles' Class you could play Spelling Basketball, Math Basketball, Multiplication Around the World, and Multiplication or Division Bingo. Different classes play different games.
ISTEP tests are alot harder. Quarterlies, don't even get me started on those. Everyone should know this, you take smaller tests to get ready for the bigger ones. Everyday after you go home you should study on the test that is going to be given. Some classes have students that do 80% or better get Pizza Partys, Milkshakes, or extra recess. If you get a 100 on your ISTEP you are doing fine. Alot of people can't get a 100% on their ISTEP tests.
Field Trips are amazing. You go to The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Connor's Prairie, The Children's Museum, and Bell's Skating Rink. The Bus ride was so fun. All of the 4th graders got to talk to each other and watch movies like The Emperors New Groove and The Incredibles.
Well thats all for now. Bye Bye!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Fourth Grade

Hi I am fourth grader and my name is Dezeray. I just wanted to tell you guys you will have to read more books. You might get a nice teacher like you might get your teacher I have right now. I have not been here a long time you guys might not know me but I'm just giving you the inside scoop. In fourth grade but some times you get to go outside and you have to know your math because you do alot of it. So be careful your hands are ready to write so think before you come to fourth grade. .Some times the teachers read to you after lunch and some times you get to come to the computer lab but some times when you get in trouble you have to pull a card and you don't have to sit in desk you get to sit at a table with other kids . It is fun in fourth grade so you better be ready for all those things I wrote about. I hope this helps you in fourth grade. Get ready to have fun.

Hi 3rd graders. I'm going to till you about 4rd grade. You will have to read bigger books and do more homework. For example you have math, reading, language arts, you get the point .You will have one hour in art and 40min in computerlab. We have a snake and his name is Slithern. I do not know if the other classrooms have pets . But I know we have a pet. That is enough for now. Good luck in the Fourth Grade.

Dear 3rd graders

Hey Its me Paige Snyder. Some of you know me but that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to tell you about 4th grade. 4th grade is a lot of fun some times. In 4th grade the books are bigger and the tests are longer . But if you have a great teacher well all the 4th grade teachers are great. When your teachers in 3rd grade tell you to do a harder test or a paper just do it. Can you guess why teachers get hard on you during the end of the year? It's because they want you to do good in 4th grade. And well I'm here to help you to but not with test, by telling you what you should exspect in 4th grade. I know you will have fun in 4th grade. Alright now to the fun things in 4th grade. At the end of the year there is a party at Bells,theres a field trip to Indy it's so much fun you can bring a camara and take pictures. And oh yeah there is a field trip to a museum and they tell you about drugs and how you should not smoke or chew tobaccaco. It is very nice to know what can happen if you do smoke or chew tobaccaco.What other things are there. Oops I forgot instead of going to lunch then recess you go to recess then lunch. And for art you have 1 hour. It's more fun when you are in art for 1 hour than when you are hearing it. And you get to meet more friends, and the year after 4th grade there's 5th grade. When you are in 4th grade you start to think about if you will get the chance to be a lunch helper. And hey maybe I will talk to you about 5th grade when I'm in it so hope you have fun in 4th grade.


Your friend

Welcome to Fourth Grade

Dear Third Graders,
I hope that you have had a great year, but now you are going to be entering the fourth grade! In fourth grade you have to learn how to play the recorder and you get an hour in art. You also go on field trips such as, Indianapolis, the Roller Dome, and the McMillan Health center. During the Indianapolis feild trip you will go to The Children's Museum, Indianapolis 500, and Conner's Prairie. And all of these places have a gift shop, but that is not the point of the trip. The main thing is to learn something from each of the places that you go to. I don't want to spoil the trip so I will begin to tell about what you will be doing during the other trips. At the Roller Dome you will basically just be skating, and since you will be there all day long you'll have to eat lunch there too. At the McMillan Health Center you will be learning about drugs, what they do to you, and how to say no to drugs. In class you have five subjects, reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies. In reading you will be reading stories and take a test which is the same as usual, but I am warning you those books are about twice the size as those books you have now. For language arts you do writing most of the time but other times you might have a paper with questions about punctuation or personification. During math you will be learning about algebra, more about decimals, and adding or subtracting fractions. In science you have to learn about Structures of Life, Electricity, and Earth and Life. In social studies you will be learning about the Native Americans and you have to write a report about something that has to do with the Native Americans like a person, weapons or even a whole Indian tribe. I hope that enjoyed reading about what fourth grade is like and I also hope like what teacher you end up getting.

Sincerely,
Brittany Keuneke

Fourth Grade Field Trips

In fourth grade you get to go on tons of field trips. The biggest and best is the trip to Indianapolis. You get to enjoy a full day of fun-from 6:30 in the morning to 6:00 at night. I don't want to give the whole trip away, but I will tell you a few details. Early in the morning you ride a bus to Indianapolis. You get to see exhibits at a mueseum, I won't tell you what mueseum though! You also get to learn about life in the past at a really cool place. That's all I'm going to tell about the trip to Indianapolis. I'll let you find out the rest yourself.
Another trip you get to go on is to the History Mueseum, which is located downtown Fort Wayne. That field trip is great. At the History Mueseum you get to learn about what Fort Wayne, Indaina was like in the 1800's and early 1900's. You even get to go down in the basement and look at the jail. It is very scary!
The last field trip you go on is to Macmillan Health Center to learn about drugs. You are going to figure out that drugs are bad and really can harm you. Not all drugs can harm you though. The only drug that will help you is a perscription drug. Which is something a doctor tells you to take due to a pain or illness, but I'll let the people at Macmillan teach you that. I think after that day no one in rooms 101, 103, 105, or 107 wanted to do drugs or smoke, because of what we were taught.
So I bet you are even more thrilled about fourth grade. I bet you are very excited about Indianapolis. You are thinking that the History Museum sounds very interesting, and your curious about what is going to happen at Macmillian. Have fun in fourth grade and on the fourth grade field trips.
