Today, to energize ourselves for the new year, we listened to "This Is The New Year" by A Great Big World. The song has a great message of hope, determination, and living every moment to its fullest - leaving nothing left undone or left unsaid. As we near the 1/2 way point of 4th grade, it is a nice time to stop and reflect on what kind of person you are growing into. With air in your lungs and an amazing mind in your head, what will you do with this new year to change the world for the better?

(Example: 6 and 7 are factor pairs of 35). Multiples are the numbers across a row or down a column. (Example: the multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24...).

For example, when he put in a 5, a 10 would come out. Then he tried putting in a 15, and a 20 came out! We determined that the rule must be +5. Then we figured out that we could change the rule. For example, we changed the rule to x3 and when we put in a 3 out came a 9, or when we put in a 10, out came a 30.

A Message From Mr. C - "What a great first day! It was a pleasure meeting all of you today and I know we are going to have a great year. Today we had a nice welcome back assembly and got to see what all of our favorite teachers did during the summer - see for yourself by clicking HERE! Then we came back to Room 430 and talked about 4th grade and how you are all members of the HLC: Hiawatha Leadership Club. This means that during the year you will help provide the school with some much needed services and volunteering. These responsibilities include collecting recycling every other week, leading the school in the pledges and WHIA Hawk Radio on Fridays, washing lunch trays, Leading a Hawks have Heart service project, and KB: Kindergarten Buddies! We started off HLC right away this year with meeting our buddies and helping them fill out an activity. After that, it was outside for some fresh air. Wow - this day sure went by fast. I hope you had a great first day back and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!"
