Dear 4th Grade Families,

Happy Tuesday! Our class has been busy putting the final touches on their projects for the Showcase this Friday. Their enthusiasm to keep going and be creative is awesome! We can’t wait for you to see some of the great work we will display on Friday.

Special Note: Please make sure your student has their board in this week so they can be ready for the Showcase on Friday!

Here’s an update of what we are currently learning in class! Don’t forget to check out our most recent episode of the 4th Grade Pod”class” linked below.

  • Reading: We are close to wrapping up our journey with Karana in the Island of the Blue Dolphins. This week, we are connecting what Karana tells us to the facts of San Nicolas Island. One way we are doing that is by accessing the National Park Services website to learn about the plants and animals that really were and continue to be present on the island!
