Fourth Grade - Nov. 15

Most of the A to Z books were turned in yesterday.  It took awhile to get them all printed but they look terrific.  I can't wait to read them.  I always learn so much from the student's research.  We always say that we learn from our students, but every time a project is turned in I am amazed by the work some students put into their books.  We will be able to share the books next week when they are all bound and ready to be handled.

I will be using the scoring rubric given out at the beginning of the unit to score the books. While I don't give letter grades, I do complete an evaluation on work completion, being prepared, self motivation, and staying on task  among other areas.  Please check with your child to see if they need to bring in any pages for their book.  Some students neglected to complete the Title / Author page as indicated on the project outline.

We also did our regular brain work.  This week's letter is F and we also tried to think of things that glow.  As always so pretty amazing concepts came up during this activity.
