Hard Work Pays Off...Go VIKES!
Merry Christmas from Mrs. Shields' 4th grade class! Here are some festive moments from last week.
USD 503 bus riders and walkers: We will have an additional van and bus running because of the brutally cold temperatures over the next few mornings, please be sure to bundle your kids up nice and warm!
Students in Mrs. Brimm's class enjoyed the cookie decoration station during our Christmas rotations.
Mr. Holmes' class had a Polar Express day! We read the classic story, took an A.R. quiz over the book, completed a sequencing activity over the major plot points, completed Polar Express themed math word problems, and then ended the day with hot chocolate and watching the movie. Each student got their own bell to take home, too!
Happy Holidays from the staff at Guthridge!! 💙🎄💛

A big thank you goes out to Julie Legler for volunteering in Mr. Holmes' room to teach all of the fourth graders about Hanukkah during our "holidays around the world" rotation day. She provided gelt (chocolate coins) for every student while teaching us how to play the traditional "dreidel" game.
A big thank you goes out to Jane Good, Mr. Holmes' past 2nd and 3rd grade teacher, for coming in to read Jan Brett's classic story, The Mitten, which was read to Mr. Holmes (and later turned into a play by the class) when he was a second grader. He continues on the tradition, now, with his own class by having a "Jan Brett" themed day each year.
Mr. Holmes' class had a "Grinch" day on Monday! They read the classic story, took an A.R. quiz over the book, analyzed and illustrated he figurative language found within the Grinch song lyrics, reread the story in play form with each student having a part, created antonyms of words to explain how the Grinch changed through the story (hated to loved, etc.), watched the old cartoon, had green "Grinch" juice, and completed Grinch-themed math word problems. It was a fun day!
4th grade participating in Holidays Around the World Rotations. Each 4th grade teacher taught a lesson about how Christmas is celebrated in different areas. Mrs. Shields' class started off learning about Christmas in Germany. 🎄
Students in Mrs. Brimm's class finished out their Native American unit by making their very own dreamcatchers! They were excited to take them home and put them to use!
Students in Mrs. Brimm's class practice their subtraction of decimals and managing a budget while completing a Tacky Christmas Sweater activity.
Sophia passed Otter Creek Multiplication in Mrs. Smith's interventions. She works hard everyday!
