I have been assigned to fourth grade after teaching kindergarten for five years. It has been an interesting transition. I need to know how to navigate the demands of a new principle, learn a new curriculum, and meet all the testing. DFoes any one have suggestions?
I am doing a project on teaching poetry in elementary school. I have created a short 10-question survey. If you have a minute, please click on the link, your responses are valuable to my research. Thanks so much, Beth [link removed]

I am working on a research project for my graduate program and am hoping some of you can help me with a quick question.
On average, how often do your fourth graders take tests and quizzes and what classes are they for? For example, do they have a weekly spelling test, weekly math quizzes, math tests once per month, reading tests? Do they take tests in other subjects?
Any details you can give would be a big help - thanks so much!
I like a few of the books on the recommended Common Core list, but I DON'T WANT TO read most of them! I already have such a great selection of books (sets) I purchased for my students.
Help! There must be another list of recommended books for 4th grade and Common Core unit out there somewhere.
Thanks!

In fact, the site has had over 12,000 views this past year (although, admittedly, not all generated from teachers.net). And yet, no one is actually using it. So here's my question: Would you be more apt to use it if it also covered other types of writing, ie., narrative essay, informational, instructional, persuasive? Please visit the site, if you haven't already, and let me know. I really want to help you and I really, really want to encourage your students. I firmly believe that we all have a better chance of developing life-long lovers of writing now, in the upper elementary grade levels - BEFORE the inner editor and walls of resistance become too strong.

While most are recovered quickly, there remains a great need to educate children – and their families and teachers – how to prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation. To fill this gap, Honeywell and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children created the Got 2B Safe Classroom Makeover Awards. The program, which recently launched its seventh year, annually recognizes teachers nationwide who develop the most creative abduction prevention lesson plans. Five winners receive a classroom makeover worth $10,000 and 100 additional teachers win $500 worth of school supplies. Makeovers include a comprehensive redesign of their classroom with themes chosen by the teachers and materials including the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety.
The safety program focuses on educating eight- to ten-year- olds and their teachers and families on how to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation. Since the program’s inception, Got 2B Safe! has been distributed to 240,000 principals and teachers, and more than 72,000 schools in the United States – reaching an estimated five million students.
The Got 2B Safe! Classroom Makeover Awards program will be open until April 13, 2012. Educators can visit the website for information about the contest and to submit an essay emphasizing how they effectively taught their students the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety for a chance to win.

I'm excited, nervous and don't know just where to start, since I will be the only 4th grade teacher in the building.
Would love to have your much needed advice on how best to get ready and what 4th grader's love.
thanks, Karen/MA

I would recommend spending as much time in a 4th grade classroom as possible. See if you can get into some schools nearby and do some observations. Al...See More
