First People of Mississippi

Check out these cool murals we made about the first people to live in Mississippi.  We also told about their traditions using petroglyphs!

Model Cells!

We had lots of fun last week making model cells from clay.  Do you remember how an animal cell and plant cell are different?  Hint: Plant cells have 2 things animal cells don't have.

This is a great game to help you practice the types of sentences like we are learning about in English Chapter 1!

Learning about Mississippi!

Oh what messy fun!  We learned about Mississippi's landforms by making salt dough maps in our pizza boxes.  We also learned about Mississippi's symbols (magnolia, mockingbird, the flag, state seal) and will be adding those to our pizza boxes as well.                                                                                       

Back-to-School!

Well 4th graders, I think we are off to a great start!  We've been working hard learning procedures, rules, and getting organized.  Now it's time to let the learning begin!  Just a few reminders:

• You need an art smock and your dough for Friday's project!
• Back-to-School Night is tomorrow starting at 6:30.  Remind your parents to bring your TOAD folder with them!
• Start studying those multiplication facts EVERY night!  It should be an easy review from 3rd grade.  Timed 1 minute test Friday!
• Take a few minutes to explore this website.  There is lots of cool information here for you!

It's Electric!

This coming week in science we will begin learning about electricity.  There are so many cool sites with fun games to help you learn more.  We will only have time for a few in class, but check them all out on your own!
