I can't believe we are half way through the 3rd quarter already!! "So much time and so little to do--scratch that--reverse it--so much to do and so little time!!" (Willy Wonka)
Our field trip to The Henry Ford was a complete success. Many aspects of history that we have been discussing in class came to life! Presidential history, the Civil War, and African American history were all on display and the kids took it all in. It was quite a thrill being able to board the actual bus that made Rosa Parks an important part of the Civil Rights Movement! Viewing the actual chair that President Lincoln was assassinated in and the limosine in which President Kennedy was shot will be forever etched in our minds. You can view photos from our field trip at http://www.sps4thgrade20092010.shutterfly.com/ .
We have just begun our unit on The Solar System. The students made a scale model of the Solar System in the hallway and it was astronomical (lol)!!
The cereal box reports on the presidents turned out fabulously! The students were quite creative and thought very carefully about the prize inside the box. If you get a chance, stop by and see them in the hallway.
