When January comes, it's a great time to begin new units with fourth graders, so this week we've begun many new things! We are studying the Islamic religion and culture along with the Middle East, and we're reading books about how to do and make things so we can then present some new skills we learn to the class. We even have parents coming in to do guest workshops next week. Hopefully this will motivate the kids to do their very best. So that's just an idea of what happens in fourth grade every week.
Just for the month of January as well we have Hot Cocoa Club. This is a time when students can enjoy a warm, fresh cup of hot cocoa from the U.S. if their behavior has been good that week. It's usually on Wednesday afternoons after recess. The kids really love it, but the only missing piece is falling snow outside. Unfortunately, we've only had flurries this year, and that was in November. Shucks. Hot cocoa is still worth it, and it spices up the January blues of being in school with no sight of spring yet.
