We have had an awesome two weeks in Room 23. We were treated to a program by The Haffenreffer Museum and we learned all about the Inuit. We have also started a unit on Canada and will be creating travel brochures about this great country. On Friday, we took a Google Expedition to Canada and it was awesome! Social studies and reader's workshop are overlapping as we focus on nonfiction text structures, nonfiction text features and close reading. We also participated in a webinar with Jacqueline Woodson. The entire 4th grade will be researching dog breeds in January and as a kick off to our unit, we attempted to participate in a webinar with Jessica Kensky, author of Rescue and Jessica. The presenters were experiencing technical difficulties but archived their presentation for us to watch next week. It was fun to learn about service dogs and how they help people and impact our world. In writing we are finishing our point of view/next chapter stories and are writing informational poems. We have wrapped up our math unit on division and will be continuing to practice this skill for the rest of the year. We are starting an enrichment project that uses all four math operations and involves creating a resort. Such fun! One more week in 2018, let's make it a great one!
