On Thursday, Ms. Gillman and Ms. Jaggi came in to lead our class in an art appreciation lesson. I couldn't have been more pleased with the project they chose, the kids effort during the lesson, and the final products. I love how rigorous and challenging the math involved in the art project was! Make sure to stop by the Mann lobby to check out the art work in person. The ladies already have an art awesome project for December that is related to our upcoming economics unit.
Heritage Project
We are now in full swing working on our family heritage project. This week, the kids focused mostly on writing a six paragraph biography on the person they chose to interview. Although many of the kids had some writers block coming up with their attention grabbers, they have made great progress in their writing. Next week, I will share with all the kids a template I created on Pages to fit our project requirement. They can use the template to type and insert pictures into with ease. Your child will be working on collecting photos on their iPads this weekend. They should have all their photos gathered by next Friday 11/14. They need photos of parents, grandparents, the interviewee, and themselves. They can also gather additional photos of family members and photos of family artifacts that are optional to include.
Field Trip: Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio
On Thursday, November 20th the 4th grade will be a taking a walking field trip to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Permission slips went home today and are due back on Friday 11/14. We need one chaperone. There is a spot on the permission slip to check if you are interested in attending. I will randomly pick one interested parent to come on the trip and I will email the chosen person on Friday 11/14 once I have all the slips. Thanks in advance for volunteering :)
Also, on Monday 11/17 we will have a workshop in school to get us ready for our field trip.
Upcoming Reading Tests
Over the next two weeks, the kids will have two lengthy reading tests: one on reading fiction standards and one on reading non-fiction standards. Here are the I Can statements that will be covered on the two tests; the dates are included on the document too. Take some time to talk to your child about these standards to prepare.
Mystery Reader
Thanks for coming in and being such an entertaining and humorous mystery reader :)
Box Tops
We are having a Box Top collection class contest at Mann. Each kid brought home a sheet for this today. The contest ends on December 12th.
