Volume 35: 9 May 2016

I am Lady Liberty and I claim this chair to be free!
It has certainly been a busy couple weeks. Our trip to Samarkand was beautiful and an amazing cultural experience. Students made many connections between artifacts, themselves, and people of the past, present, and possible future. We are in the final stages of our artifact journey and are working hard on two projects: a 5-paragraph essay and a Grade 4 TISwitness Book! For the former, we have chosen one book to extract all the information we need to write an informative essay about one artifact; and for the latter, we are writing creating a book page that includes a sketch, photograph, pictures, drawings, details, captions, cutaways, introductions, subheadings, and more. In math, we continue our study of fractions. We are ordering, comparing, adding, subtracting, and using visuals and number lines to help express a depth of understanding. Until the next update... enjoy the weather!

Monday: No school
Tuesday: Go into your kitchen and create something. This is the homework, inspired by a book "The Kid who invented the Popsicle". If you can, please have your parents take a picture of you with your creation/invention:) We will share those photos tomorrow. michaelr@tashschool.org
Wednesday: IXL Decimals U.1, U.2, U.3
Thursday:
Friday: Read while eating strawberries!


Oh, it was character day. Yeah!

 It looks like I am singing, but really I am a puppeteer.







   The beginning of a fractional journey.
 Artifact research.
 Winnie the Pooh has lost his mind.
The beginning of a farewell...
