We had so much fun at our Pep Rally Assembly yesterday, learning how to play our new recess games Ga Ga Ball and Switch while cheering on the teachers who competed! #ccs118life #d118life

We started by covering every other door in our bathrooms. This week, we were able to cover our last door. Thank you to everyone who supported our student council fundraisers. There is more to come… #cottoncs118 #ccslife #ccsstudentcouncil #d118life

So proud of my math class being so respectful and responsible during partner work that we've already added it into our guided math stations! Last week they were rounding & this week is 6 digit addition with regrouping! #superherofourth #ccs118life #d118life

We had a blast at our APEX Run last week! Thanks to all who donated to help our school! #ccs118life #d118life

We had such an awesome time with our #BulldogReaders from Wauconda High School today! Thanks for visiting and reading to us! I got to see one of my former students (who's now doubled me in height) be a role model for my fourth graders! 😃 #ccs118life #d118life

Our assembly today by peter brown! was incredible! He walked us through his writing process & taught us how to draw Roz from #TheWildRobot which we will read as a whole school starting Monday! Can't wait! #ccs118life #d118life

Gotta love some friendly competition and teamwork to review math skills! These team names they came up with made me smile 😄 #ccs118life

We love hunting for Roz from #TheWildRobot around Cotton Creek School! #ccs118life #d118life

We had lots of fun today at our in house field trip by McHenry County Conservation District learning all about Native Americans & Natural Resources! #ccs118life #d118life

We are nearing the end of our second chapter book read aloud of the school year, The Million Dollar Shot by @DanGutmanBooks, and we finally found out today if he made the basket!!!! 😃 Reading is so much fun! #ccs118life #d118life

They loved your book so much! Thanks for the reply and repost, their jaws dropped, they were so excited and couldn't believe it was you!! 😍 I've been a fan since I was a kid! 📚 #ccs118life #d118life

Today we worked as a team to define our purpose & how we can accomplish it! We also had fun playing Four Corners to see what we had in common with each other. What a great first day of fourth grade!!! #superherofourth #ccs118life #d118life

Today we read The Day You Begin & tackled the challenge of building the tallest tower out of notecards in teams - but each notecard had to have something the teammates had in common written on it! They found many similarities as their towers grew! #ccs118life #d118life

Apex begins today! We have 9 days to log in, share, and get some pledges to raise money for our school before the Fun Run! #ccs118life #d118life
