Winter is almost here....

We know what that means?..... Science: We are going to find out why we have seasons and hopefully start moon phases. We will start recording our top secret project. Let's just say that it will be a newsworthy performance. Social Studies: We will have established our colonies by the end of this wee. Oh the good times we shared moving from England to New England, Middle and Southern Colonies. Our happiness will not last. A big war is coming soon. Choose your side:)

Solar System & The 13 Colonies

I am so proud of the work that each of you put in for the solar system home projects. I enjoyed looking over your work and look forward to your presentations tomorrow. This week, we are going to talk about different types of telescopes. We will also hopefully complete our weather reports. The 13 colonies are coming along nicely. We will now move on to the southern colonies. The students have learned so much in a short amount of time. Our field trip to the Savannah Children's Theatre was a huge success. The students definitely learned a lot about good test taking strategies. I did not know that we had so many performing artists in the fourth grade. Hopefully, we will be able to go another field trip next semester.
