Welcome to Chinatown

Tonight's homework is to reread pages 650-657 Welcome To Chinatown.  Students will have a story test tomorrow.  We also completed vocabulary Practice Workbook page 143.

Here's a quick video about the Chinese New Year:

Our next Social Studies unit will be over the Midwest, so students can get a head start on learning these states, capitals, and the names of the Great Lakes.  We started practicing them today in class. Goal date for a test is next Tuesday, April 21.

States and Capitals Puzzle

Tour the States Video  (This is a huge classroom favorite)

Field Trip slips were sent home for the Earth Day Movie.

Fourth Graders will have "Pioneer Day" TOMORROW.  This is an educational in-school "field trip" at no cost (partially funded by the PTO -- Thank you, PTO!).

Filed trips for the Earth Day movie on April 23 need to be returned to school, please.
