John Powell English 1010 Casey Lambert September 20, 2012 In the fourth grade, we seem to view the world in a completely different perspective. We don’t realize it until we grow older, but imagination can take us anywhere we want to go, make us anything we want to be, whenever we like. One of my favorite memories of fourth grade is my flashback to science class. That year in Mrs. Townsley’s class, each of my classmates and I were given a caterpillar to take care of as a class project during classroom hours. Its lime green slinky, like shape was mesmerizing as one could imagine, for a fourth grader.
In Green Eggs and Ham, the child finally gets to be the boss and tell the grown-up what to eat. From a child’s point of view, grown-ups have been goofing around with children’s diets for as long as there have been grown-ups and children. It is the classic foundation that each and every child has grown up to follow. First, grown-ups hook their children on milk and milk-like products. Then, just when the children get used to it and settle in, the grown-ups rip it away and make them eat disgusting, healthy green stuff.
Every day in school cafeterias across the country, students are choosing healthier options. According to the revised lunch menus, instead of a breaded beef patty with ketchup, a frozen fruit ice pop, and whole milk, students can now select a chef salad with grilled chicken, low-fat mozzarella, accompanied by a whole-wheat soft pretzel and low-fat chocolate milk. These new offerings are the result of the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,” (HHFK) which provides $4.5 billion in new funding for the federal school lunch program. In order to receive this funding, school districts must offer menus that meet certain nutritional standards. These federally-mandated nutritional standards for school lunch menus will create a healthier generation
Please take some time to read this letter and really think about the effects of children eating unhealthy school lunches. Any school that is federally funded by the government must follow guidelines regarding the lunch it serves. According to the Toronto Star, nearly 10 million children per day participate in the National School Lunch

POW 13: Cutting The Pie The task in this problem of the week was to find out the maximum pieces of pie you could have with certain amounts of cuts. Specifically, I had to figure out how many pieces of pie there could be with four cuts, five cuts, and ten cuts, and to find a pattern that would assist me in finding the tenth cuts pieces. When we had an in class POW day was when me and my group started drawing pies and was when I got most of my work done on the problem. In the beginning, I drew out the pies with one cut, two cuts, and three cuts, and then started with the ones I had to figure out myself. The amount of pieces got bigger as I drew the pies over and over again because I figured out strategies to get more pieces.
Passport is a good idea to make with the preschool, by gathering some construction paper, and teaching the children about the county such; as Russia, Africa, China, and so on. The following ideas will enrich my program. When I invite parents from different ethnic groups to visit my program, I will ask them to bring ingredient for a simple recipe used in their country. That will help the children learn about different food from different country. When I was in seven graded we had to bring different food to the classroom from different country.
The quality of the reasoning depends on our ability to logically or dependably apply proper judgmental criteria. (Stiggins, 2008, p. 61) Evaluation is when one makes judgments about the value of ideas or materials (Bloom). During the second half of the school year, fourth graders are asked to write a simple research paper. Part of the learning is to introduce the students to the library resource (EBSCO) that is a search engine similar to an online catalog. To help students learn to evaluate appropriate resources I give the students a list of ten different magazines that they must evaluate.
