Today's Summary… 

Morning Meeting -We began our day with sharing our favorite 4th grade memories through an activity entitled 4th Grade Was a Ball.  We will complete this special end of year project tomorrow (as needed).  It has truly been such an amazing year!

Social Studies- Today we continued our new unit on USA Government.  We learned about rights and responsibilities of American citizens. See Mrs. Triana for this lesson’s documents if you were absent. 

Reading: Today we continued our unit on historical fiction. We learned that  historical fiction is a literary genre where the story takes place in the past. Historical novels capture the details of the time period. Today we read Chapter 1 of the class read-aloud book, Number the Stars.  We also filled a Who, What, Where, When, Why chart on our own historical fiction novels during our Book Club time today.
