What do huckleberries, Appalousas, star garnets and monarch butterflies have in common? They are all official symbols of the State of Idaho. So are potatoes, Rocky Mountain bluebirds, white pines, rainbow trout, syringas, peregrine falcons, the Hagerman horse fossils, the square dance! This week we will be studying them and choosing one of them to create a pillow top.
The Rexburg Civic Club is sponsoring a Spelling Bee for fourth graders in the Madison District. A list went home this week, but if you need another copy of the word list, please email me at school (smithb@mail.d321.k12.id.us) and I send it right away.
Spelling: 10 pairs of homophones.
Grammar Skill: common nouns
Math: Perimeter, geometric shapes, lines, line segments, rays and angles -- plus continuing to practice addition, multiplication, and subtraction.
We've finished reading Brighty of the Grand Canyon and will watch the movie on Friday afternoon. We will then compare and contrast the story elements of the book and movie, including characters, setting, and plot. Most are the same, but some are very different.
This is going to be the best week ever! ;)
