Things couldn’t be more exciting in the 4th grade!
The students have been studying for exams and working hard and getting good grades. They are so smart! We took a virtual field trip to Ellis Island and learned a lot about immigrants from other countries. We are almost done with our Journeys series, ahead of schedule! We are about to start a science unit on fitness and exercise. We are putting together articles for a school newspaper (thanks to a great idea by London!) Oh, and we are also making our own dance video. So, like I said, EXCITING!
