Mrs. Weldon's Fourth Grade

     Mrs.Weldon is the best teacher in the school!  She explains things and gives you time to do your work. She has lots of fun sayings like "You can't have fun if you don't know when to stop!" Another saying she uses is "Off with your head!" She has a little toy Lego axe that she uses when she says that! If we are noisy, she says "Calgon, take me away!" She really makes us laugh!

    For many of us, this is the second year that we have had Mrs. Weldon as a teacher. This is a good thing as she keeps everything interesting. She has a lot of new ways to teach us, she is not boring.

    Mrs. Weldon reads us very interesting books to us. We heard the book City of Ember. She also brings us on awesome field trips.

    We have Truffles the guinea pig in our room. We get to play with Truffles at read aloud and at recess. Every day we have give her fresh water, pellets, hay, and a carrot.

    We learn about the Rules and Laws of the United States in fourth grade. Some of us know the words to the Preamble to the Constitution.  We learned that Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of The Declaration of Independence. John Hancock signed it with  BIGGEST signature because he did not care if King George III saw it. They wanted to throw the King  out and be independent. The Constitution is a important document because it has the rules and laws of the United States.
   
    In fourth grade, we also get to start band. A lot of us get to take an instrument and work with Mr. Bowers. He is really nice, but he will not let us fool around in band.
   
    We are excited to be in 4th grade because we get to learn about electricity and magnetism.We already learned about Rules and Laws,and we went to the State House and the Rock Quarry which was really really fun!
