Book Report: Mystery
Due: Thursday, October 17th
When reading their book, students should take notes on these items: main character, setting, conflict, supporting characters, rising action, connections, climax and resolution, and finally their personal review. To find the notes page click here: Notes for Mystery Story
The first side of the Notes page is due by September 27th.
The back side of the Notes page is due by October 4th.
First typed review due October 11th.
Final copy due October 17th.
The final report will be typed in their Google Drive using a document I have created and shared with them.
Art: We are completing projects on how "Failure Leads to Success" with an animation movie using WeVideo. If you are able to connect at home to the Internet have your student show you their progress on their animation.
Soon we will begin our Louise Nevelson project. Great Job on collecting items for their Louise Nevelson artwork! If you would still like to make any donations for this project here are a few more ideas: different shaped pastas are always a great find, wooden pieces of all sizes, nails, corks, and other random items.
Christian Character Development: In our study of Christian Character Development we discussed how friendships are like Apples. We have different levels of friendships: the outer layer is like getting to know a new friend, the inside, or the meat of the apple are your closer friends, and the core of the apple are your best friends. We discussed how friends can go between the different levels depending on if you move to a new city, you grow apart, or develop different interests. Also, we discussed how God uses the Holy Spirit in our lives to work in our heart's and our friend's hearts when we have troubles in our relationships.
Chapel Buddies: This week the 4th graders took time this week to play "high, low" a card game teaching the Kindergartners about comparing numbers.
Library Days: Each Tuesday the 4th graders are able to select two reading books of their choice. Please note that books need to be turned in by 8:20 a.m. Tuesday morning.
