Story Island Project: May 27th - June 7th


Dear Parents and Students of 4C:

We will be starting a very fun and educational project! 

We will be developing and creating a mythical island and writing a story about it.

Your island will inclued at least 10 different natural and man-made elements. You will get a vocabulary list of these elements and resources from me.

We will first create a colored map of your island, and then each island will be created using salt dough and paint. 

The story you create will go along with your mythical island, and you will get a chance to present this.

Biographies - Project

This week in Reading we will be reading the biography of Jim Thorpe, an American athlete born in the 1880's.

We will also be choosing our own famous person to write a biography on.

The person must be a real person who was famous, but is no longer alive. They must be dead now.

We will do investigations on these people, write up a biography and a timeline of their major accomplishments.

Looking forward to a fun project!

Dani
