A welcome letter from Mrs. Graves...
My 4th and 5th grade classes love reading! We do several novels a year in each grade. To go along with cross curriculum, after my 5th grade have read the novel Number The Stars, we study the Holocaust. The students get involved and take ownership in group/class discussions pertaining to the novels and lessons we have discussed in read Reading class as well as in Social Studies class.
The 4th and 5th also do research on the Chromebooks/computers. The 5th grade students work on researching a particular state and present it to the class while the 4th graders research a country of their choice and talk to the class about how that country celebrates Christmas, and why they have particular traditions. |
