Weeks of February 15 and March 1

We started a new science project by reading Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider and Diary of a Fly.   These books are our inspiration to create our own Diary of a ...books.  After reading these books, we discussed what research the author needed to do in order to write the books and we created our own criteria for research of an invertebrate.  Next we will make a storyboard and write a rough draft.

Also a Grade 4 Term 3 Social Studies project was introduced.  We held a lottery to pick which state we will research.  One requirement will be to use Google presentation to share information about our state.  Another requirement will be determined by the students through their inquiry questions about the state.
