Best New Year's News!

Congratulations Students!  You did it!  You read more minutes than any other 4th grade class at OES over Winter Break! 
 
All the grade level winners will be invited to have pancakes with the principals and claim ownership of the Best Reader trophy for the remainder of 2016.  I couldn't be prouder of you!  Special thanks to Allena who read 3.000 minutes and Brooke who read 1,500 minutes. 
We did it!!
 
 
 
 
Meet Austin Kleon and his Blackout Poetry.  Check out the videos below and get a preview of what we will be trying this week in our poetry unit.  Professional writers sometimes find it difficult to think of an idea to write about and the words just won't come...Writer's Block!  But, when it does he has a totally different way to making the words flow again.  He gets grabs a newspaper and a black Sharpie.
