Would you be interested in giving us a review of a book you have recently read so that we could turn it into a podcast for your fellow students to listen to? See us in the library if you are interested.
Monica starts us off with her introduction to the book, Cold in Summer written by Tracy Barrett.

Simon’s Hook, written by Karen Burnett, is a story about teases and put- downs. A boy named Simon gets a rather funny haircut from his sister after her gum gets found in his hair. Simon puts his baseball cap on and runs to play with his friends hoping no one would notice but when his cap falls off the other kids laugh and tease him. He runs home upset, but meets his grandmother on his way and she tells him a story about how to be a free fish.
If you are still biting hooks that are thrown your way listen to the recording for a review of the five ways to be a free fish. Simon’s Hook
Question: Tell about a time when a hook came your way and you did not bite.

5th grade recently culminated their Revolutionary War studies with an in-depth study of key Virginians of the war. Students chose an individual to research, wrote a critical analysis about how their person influenced Virginia during the time of the Revolutionary War, and finally crafted an oral presentation to teach their classmates about their historical figure.
What was the most critical contribution (act, idea, document. . . . ) that your individual made during the time of the Revolutionary War?
King George III

Our 4th grade students are studying the regions of the United States. During Social Studies they focus on the geographical, cultural economical, and historical aspects of the states. During Math the students are grouped in regions and travel calculating mileage on roads of historical paths.
To experience the relationship between geography and culture, a United States Taste Testing Day is held. Listen to some of the descriptions of foods and their culture associated with it. Can you help add to our list of cultural foods???
