Mrs. Antoniono & Ms. Williams' Fourth Grade Class

We have completed our first project: Who Would Move to Nevada? The students did a fabulous job on their models and essays. They worked so hard and were very proud. Yesterday they presented their projects to our class and today we did a walk through with the other fourth grade class so they could see each others. Tomorrow we will start our next project in which we will learn about maps and the components of maps. We will once again focus on Nevada and students will design and build their own maps with many features regarding Nevada, its people and places. At the end of this project you will be invited to see students present their maps and all they have learned.

Good Evening! I'm sorry to say I forgot to send home pictures today as we were working on projects right until the last minute! I will be sure to send them home tomorrow. We have finished our first round of edits for the essays and the timelines. Those will both be completed this week, and students will start creating their models. I know they are looking forward to this next step. They have been real troopers with the research and we are all looking forward to the "fun" part of the project. They have learned soooo much! As they work on their plans for the models, they may be asking to bring some supplies in from home. Most supplies can be provided at school, but they may want some special items to add to their model. Thank you for your support in this. You have awesome kids, and I am loving working with all of them! Ms. Williams

Your children have been working hard to find information for our "Who Would Move to Nevada" project. It has been difficult for some of them and we are working slowly to find the information they need. We are hoping to finish our research this week. We have had some wonderful speakers who have helped us understand some of the cultural aspects of our ancestors' lives. We greatly appreciate that insight. By next week we hope to be building models of their group's lifestyle. When that time arrives, I will be sending home information about any contributions we may need from home. Thank you for your support!
