CELEBRATION!!

We had almost 100% participation in Fun Friday today!! Congratulations to all students who passed their first milestone of 4th grade!!  I'm really excited about these exhibitions since the students have already put a lot of time and effort into their beginning research.  A HUGE shout out to all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and whomever else, for all the support you have given to your student to encourage their success of this exhibition!

MILESTONE 2 OUTLINE

Milestone 2 is due on November 17th.  This milestone is in an outline form.  There are 7 main criteria that must be completed for the exhibition.  Below you will find both the original notice that was sent home near the beginning of school stating the 7 requirements, and also, an outline template.  Students should use this template to complete their outline for their state.  Outlines may be written or typed, but must be neat and legible.  As always, thank you for your fabulous support, and please email me with any questions/concerns.

OUR GROWING WRITERS...

Our weekend writing assignment that was due Monday, October 18th was:

If you had to choose between being UGLY and RICH, or BEAUTIFUL and POOR, which would you choose?  Give the reasons for your choice.

Several students wrote extremely well, using examples and details, and captured the idea of how we can be beautiful on the inside, how we can be poor in money, but wealthy in life around us. Please go to the “Student Work” tab at the top of the page so that you may read what they wrote (unedited!)
