State Reports

We are mid-way through our state report projects.  Each student in 4th grade is researching a different state.  The research phase is over and we are working on typing up our information for our websites.  

Next week Mrs. Atlas will introduce the students to the actual websites that they will be using, and she will show them how to transform their hard work into webpages.  

The sample website that can be used as a guide is http://minnesota1858.weebly.com/

Electricity

We have been very busy since our last post!  One of the things we are just finishing up is our unit on electricity in Science.  The highlight for the students was our work with Snap Circuits.  Students worked in groups of two or three students to create simple circuits and parallel circuits.  They made light bulbs, fans, and speakers work in different types of creations.  It brings a whole new meaning to, "All my fourth graders want to do is work on their electronics!"
