New Centers!

These are the last centers you will do in fourth grade! Isn't that exciting! Click Graphing Activity or Patterns (we have done both of these before, but you should enjoy seeing them again).

Nets

We will use these sites to learn about nets: Geometric solids at Illuminations and Math Nets Interactive Geometry.

Back to Work

Due to CRCT preparation and testing, we have not had a lot of time for science and social studies. To end the year we will study motion and simple machines. In social studies, we will spend a few days on the War of 1812 and Georgia. Here are some links that we will need: War of 1812 Web Quest Site, Site for Georgia Facts, Savannah Site.
We will also have some end of the year fun in math. Through the Math on the Menu project, students will create their own restaurant! They will create a menu and design their floor plan. Finally, they will create a PowerPoint to share with their classmates. We will need these sites . . . Web Quest for Day One. Also one the first day of the unit, students will pick a Mexican Restaurant and plan a meal for under $20 . . . . they can pick from Chevys Fresh Mex Restaurant, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, and Azteca Mexican Restaurant.

Kites!

To celebrate the end of CRCT, we will use our geometery skills to make kites! Before we make them, we will complete a webquest using kites.org. On Wednesday, we will construct our kites by following the directions on from the Big Wind Kite Factory in Hawaii.
