I will select 2 winners on Wednesday, May 17th. To keep things fair, winners will be chosen based on the criteria below. The winners will receive prizes!
As we near the last day of school, let us remember these wise words.
Let these words help guide us in how we treat each other and behave. I'm so proud of you all! We only have 31 days until SUMMER! Next week, we will begin working on an in-class project to celebrate the upcoming Earth Day. Start thinking of catchy mottos for your posters! I have articles in the interesting read sections to spark ideas! Fun TCAP practice games, like Jeopardy!!! Try out the Social Studies one!

http://www.mpmschoolsupplies.com/ideas/science-fair-projects/grade-4/ https://www.education.com/science-fair/fourth-grade/ Students discussed first, second, and third person point of views in groups using a short story. They identified the point of views using text details and then had fun recreating an event from another character's point of view.
The students worked together to compare and contrast the first Thanksgiving feast and today's traditions! We learned so many interesting facts! This week in Social Studies we studied the Age of Discovery! We learned about famous European explorers: Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, Jacques Cartier, Henry Hudson, Juan Ponce de Leon, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, and Hernan Cortes. Students worked together to create lapbooks, while researching each explorer's sponsoring country, goal, route, and expedition result. They even made a timeline and map showing how the explorers reached the New World!
Today students researched insects of their choice! They used online resources to determine if their insects' metamorphosis was complete or incomplete. Next, they created 3D models showing each stage of the insect's life cycle. Then, they provided detailed labels describing each stage. Finally, the students wrote a summary differentiating between complete and incomplete metamorphosis on a separate piece of paper. The projects came out beautifully, and everyone created artistic and unique compositions of their insect's life cycle. Rubric*
