We find Mrs. Luchsinger with a class of fourth graders practicing their computer keyboard typing skills.

On a typical day during WIN time, students, along with Mrs. Luchsinger and a paraeducator, all take turns reading a book together. They then together discuss what they had read, and then students individually complete corresponding worksheets. One day a week however, students participate in DEAR, drop everything and read, where students are encouraged to find a comfortable place in Emerson's library to read for 20 minutes.

Mr. Bates is the ruler, or the yardstick?. In this fourth grade math class, students learned about units of measurement. Today they learned about standard length units such as an inch, a foot, a yard, and a mile. They also learned how to convert between the standard units. Most fourth grade students say that math is their favorite subject, and by the reaction of one student's face, I believe them.
Tune in next week where we will be visiting our last of the the classroom teachers.
