Mystery Skype

By Angie, Fourth Grade Student

         On Monday, May 8th our class had our first Mystery Skype! It was challenging at first but we came up with some great questions. The other classroom found our state first but soon we found out they lived in New Mexico. After that it was a battle to find the town. It was tough but our class quickly found out that they were in Albuquerque, New Mexico! We soon gave the other class hints and they found out that we were in Topsfield. We never had time to figure out their school but we all had fun trying to find where in the world they were.

Math Madness

Students feeling excited to be reviewing for the upcoming math MCAS?  You bet!  That is if it means creating t-shirts in the CLIC lab to review fourth grade math skills.

Today, Team Gibbas students followed explicit directions to create "Math Madness" t-shirts that displayed their knowledge of symmetry, fractions, multiplication, division, lines, rounding, and area and perimeter.  Students showcased their math pride with positive math statements such as, "I am good at math facts!","I'm great at fractions!", and "I love division!"

Thank you Jan Brown for this inspired idea!
