Chromebook You’re standing up in class, like a small tree, with a chromebook in your hands. You open it and you go onto your google account and start typing up an essay. Chromebooks are a great way to learn! In 4th grade, your teacher might assign you an essay. To sign in, you go into google and once you’re in, on the right upper corner, you will see a blue rectangle, that reads ‘sign in’. Click on it, and enter your username, that your teacher will give you. Then, hit next. Then type your password, which your teacher will also give you. This means, that now you can now use google docs, and all sorts of other things that you can only do if you have an account, and it will all save automatically. And if you did it correctly, the first letter of your name will show on the upper right corner. Chromebooks are a great way to type an essay. One place you might want to go is google docs. You can get here by clicking the nine squares on the right upper corner, next to your first initial. Then, applications will show up. One will hopefully be google docs. If not, on the bottom, there will show a ‘see more’ sign. Then other applications will show up, then google docs should be there. Then hit google docs and you will be in it. It might take a bit to load, but that’s just because it’s your first time in. Once you’re in, click blank. Then you can start typing, and it will save automatically. Chromebooks can connect to reading. For example, when you finish a book, your teacher will probably make you write a book review. This means, every time you finish your book, you will have to write a book review, unless your chrome isn’t working, but this doesn’t you get to not read. Chromes can also connect to writing. This means you will be able to use your chromebook during writing too. For example, you will probably be asked to do your final draft on a chrome, usually on the docs. During the beginning of the year, you will learn the structure of a paragraph. You will do a paragraph of a monster, (a describing paragraph) and a paragraph about your classroom. By the end of this year in 4th grade, not only will have learned how to use a chrome, but you will have had so much fun, you could fill a mansion!!! By E.S.

In science you will have to have patience if you mess up or something doesn't work Mrs Ryan will always try and help. In science the first thing you will learn about is plants you study seeds and germination. Germination is when seeds shoot out there first roots. You will also do detailed sketches. You sketch if the plant you planted germinated you also sketch different types of seeds. Another fun thing you do in science are experiments some experiments are dissecting a seed and planting a seed and giving it bubbly water or different amounts of air seeing if the seed can still germinate. In science in 4RY you never work in a group with more than five people, and with mrs ryan as a teacher you will never get stuck like a nail in a piece of wood, if you need help she will explain. If you liked since last year you are going to like it even more this year. By W.L. More Recess!? Do you ever think you don’t have enough recess? The spicy pepper is a great way to be a good role model and to get more recess! But why do you think it’s a chili pepper? Well let me tell you, our teacher, Mrs.Ryan, loves spicy things that’s why she put a chili pepper. A pepper is sometimes really boring. But not this class! Since our teacher is creative, fun, and exciting she draws some character traits. For example, if it was summer, she would draw on sunglasses, a beach ball, and waves in the background and she puts on different colors instead of just red like rainbow fun! Now you know most of the chili pepper but how do we earn points and how do we fill it in? You can fill it in by being quiet but this program is not independent, the whole class has to be good to earn points not only you. But at the same time you have to participate to earn points to. This means you have to do the work to. When the teacher is talking make sure your listening or you won’t get spicy points or you might even lose points. Another way to get spicy points is to have quiet transitions. For example, it’s lunch, you line up in a straight line quietly , you would get spicy points easy peasy . On to filling the chili pepper. Just to tell you even though you worked hard and you fill the pepper you don’t get points right away, but you will still get the extra recess. Because more recess is more fun! I’ll bet you’ll be a great role model when you grow up! By N.C. Book club Do you like reading with people with an exciting book? Than book club is for you!

Reader’s Workshop How do you get kids to quiet down and Reading is a Quiet session that we have in the middle of the day In reading kids need to learn how to be quiet and read so they don’t distract each other you need a quiet space to read. The buzz basket is a place to put books so other kids can read them. Partner reading is another way that kids can read in reading. When you partner read you go somewhere quiet and read with your partner. The partners take turns every four pages or so. After their done reading the page, they discuss it. Also, five or four kids might meet with the teacher to read for fifteen or twenty minutes. The whole group reads each one page and practices a reading strategy. In the reader’s notebook, you write about reading strategies, a book list, and notes. Reader’s workshop helps kids to focus on being better readers. By Jdog Book Buzz Imagine you just finished a great book. But in your opinion the cover is dull and the back description is not as lively as the book itself. So you go to the Book Buzz bin. The Book Buzz bin is a basket made for good books. Anyone in class 4Ry can add and subtract books from the bin. But Mrs.Ryan must have thought that we would get bored only reading books that our friends recommended because she also let teachers all around Pine Hill add books too. This means you can read books you old teachers liked and the teachers you are looking forward to having enjoyed. Actually, I think they all like that all you need to add a book is a sticky note, a pencil and the book you want to recommend. It is such a easy process so Mrs. Ryan let me and all of my classmates try it. All we have to do to add a book is two steps and Boom, your book is all ready to go. Step one: Find a sticky note to write your name on. Step two: Write you name, stick the sticky note onto your book and place everything in the bin. ( escaped your pencil, you can keep that!) But if you reily want people to try your book sign up for a book talk. A book talk is when you stand up in front of the class and talk on and on about your book. Now that you know a little bit about Book Buzz you should try it. Just look for a big, yellow bug stuck on a web-like baskit. Now go, try it! Watch the Book Buzz bin work its magic! By A.A. Band Imagine your sitting in a music room. you are with instruments round you, kids too and they are all holding instruments then you get jealous, you want one, soon you have one to! But you do not know how to play it? So keep reading to know how to play an instrument. There are a lot of instruments let’s see there is a clarinet [that is what I play] the trumpet,drums,flute,the tuba that is about 5 or 4 instruments you can pick from. So which on are you going to pick from oh what there is one more to pick from the sax [short for saxophone] some people hold their instruments for about 30 mins it is awesome that people can do that but kids like us we play the instruments for like 3 or 5 seconds. And sometimes even longer Mr. Davis only teaches for 30 mins with you. He has 4 or 5 classes every Monday and Tuesday. He plays with different instruments. He has a lot of them. Thank you for letting me teach you see you in band. By C.M.
