My Class - Grade 4 English

This is my class! You can't see all of them but there are 46 students in the class. They go between being super well behaved and super naughty. It is a lot of fun most of the time and they are quite smart when they really put their minds to it. One of their favorite activities is our story time. I have been reading them the book "George's Marvelous Medicine" which is a book by Roald Dahl. I wasn't sure if it would be to difficult for them to understand without a lot of pictures and it is a lot of listening for them to do but they have really gotten into the story. One really good thing is that they are remembering lots of the story which is a good skill for them to do; listening and comprehension. I gave them an assessment test last week and nearly all of them got the questions about the book correct. The other recent excitement is the spelling test I gave them today. Most of them received 12 or more correct out of 15. The words were like hat, fish, and clock but for these particular kids, it is quite an accomplishment. I really love teaching them and seeing their face light up when they understand or do something well.
