Caribbean Country Projects

On Friday, May 27th, the 4th grade presented our "Around the World" projects.  Our class was lucky enough to study the Caribbean, focusing on 8 different countries.  Each group researched their country's climate, languages, economy, customs and more, and then created a Google Slide presentation.  They also created topographical maps of their countries from salt dough and beautiful recreations of the country's flag.  Everyone got some great practice with public speaking and presenting, and did a wonderful job showcasing their countries.  Excellent job!

Southwest Postcard

As a culminating project for our unit on the Southwest, our class researched the four states and wrote scripts, covering culture, history, climate and more.  Each child then recorded their part of the research.  A special thank you to Mrs. Klipfel for her creativity and hard work!

Midwest Slideshow

As a culminating project for our unit on the Midwest, our class worked with Mrs. Murphy's class to create a Google Slides presentation.  Each group was assigned a state and worked in separate classrooms, utilizing Google's comments to communicate.  All the research and images were found independently.  The classes did a wonderful job and we hope you enjoy our project!

Wax Museum

On Thursday, March 3rd, the fourth grade had their annual Wax Museum. Each student read a biography about a famous person, took notes and wrote a speech. They then memorized their speech and put together a costume, all helping to transform them into their famous person. The class did a wonderful job and should be very proud of their fantastic performance!

Our famous class!

Annie Oakley, Stephen Spielberg and Sally Ride

Babe Ruth, Maria Tallchief, Jackie Robinson and Ronald Reagan

Well done, fourth grade!
