Dominance,  Balloons, and Socrates.

Today was a short day because of early dismissal. We worked on Hands on Equations, which were challenging and then went to the computer lab to work on Scratch to design our holiday card. We discussed parts of the brain and what each of the three parts did. When we were done we played games to see what our dominant side was. We took some eye test by looking through a tube, and another one by making our hands in a triangular shape and focusing in on something. We took a hand/arm test by writing, picking up a cup of water, and throwing a ball. The foot and leg test were fun too. We ran and jumped to see what leg we jumped off of and we dropped kicked a ball to see what foot we would kick off of. We found out that most professional sports players are right handed.

It is finally Balloon Race day! But first we had to learn and do  some algebra problems called Hands on Equations..Then we went to the computer lab to type our poems and enter them in a contest! After that we went to specials and ate lunch in the G/T room with Mrs. Horan. Finally, it was Balloon Racing time!The whole fourth grade was our audience! Michael was our winner for distance, Ishan was our winner for speed, and Alexa was our winner for best decorated. After the balloon races we learned more about Da Vinci.Then it  was time  for us to leave fantastic GT .Blogger 4th grade- Gloria
