Explorers in 2020
1/11/2020
After a well deserved if not somewhat cold winter break, fourth grade returned to the classroom to start 2020 rested and fresh! Worried that we might be a little sluggish upon returning we dived straight into our new topic of Explorers and 1492. For this topic, we are each taking on a created character that has been hired to sail for either Spain or Portugal to the New World in search of fame and riches. However the journey is long and perilous. The crew is going to be presented a series of dilemmas and challenges that they have to overcome. Only by working together and making best use of their unique skills can our crew ensure they survive the journey. Each day a new challenge awaits and there are consequences to their choices! Students also got a fresh start in their language arts class, where they worked on daily word journeys to keep expanding vocabulary and spelling. Learning new word patterns and helping getting their reading and writing brains back into shape. Ready for a brand new year of learning! Comments are closed.
