We have all selected our topics, and are ready to begin researching different native American groups or tribes.  We will learn through different resources, including the internet. 

Mrs. Phillips, our librarian, has recommended the site below.

Have fun!

Welcome back to school!  We are in our first full week of school, and we'll be getting into blogging soon!

The Landmark Project is getting started and we can't wait to play!  We are looking forward to expanding our knowledge of the world and to solving everyone's clues.

 

Some links that will help us include:

www.OneKey.com

www.Surfsafely.com

www.Go.com

www.AskJeeves.com

In the next two weeks, we will be researching the ways Christmas and other holidays are celebrated around the world.  Each student will present the customs and traditions that are different or unique to the country they select.  Then they will share one characteristic of that country's celebration, such as a craft, food, game, or song.

Here are some links that will help in your research.

Today starts a new year at Eugene Field.  While old friends have moved on to the next grade, today brings the chance for new relationships and adventures in learning.  I hope everyone has a great day.  Welcome to 4th grade!

For our final project, we are going to be studying the 50 states in our great country.  We will discover facts about their climate, economy, resources, and the people who live there.  Of course, we will concentrate on our own great state of Missouri!

This website is a great starting point:

We are off and running with the Landmark Project!  It is taking us to places we've never heard of and through sights we've never seen.  We can hardly wait to find out where all the clues will lead.  The following links may help us:

We are very excited to be participating in the Landmark project.  We can't wait to follow the clues!

Our next two weeks will be spent studying Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and many other holidays that are celebrated this time of year.  The students will be presenting to their class how a country observes one celebration, and sharing a craft, food, game, or song from that celebration.

Here are three links you might want to use as a reference.
