Today we got to Skype with an expert from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Wyoming about the Lakota Native American tribe! We spent an hour talking with her about how the tribe used the land and animals to survive. The kids really enjoyed asking her questions and seeing all the parts of the buffalo! During our NA unit, we talked about how tribes used ALL parts of the buffalo. It was super interesting to see exactly what that meant. The expert even showed us a canteen that was made from a buffalo bladder!!!


Tonight's Homework:
Prime and Composite Numbers

No school tomorrow!

Students who are not participating in the Read 180 Program have begun book clubs. Students will be reading Holes by Louis Sachar. Even if students have read this book before, we will be reading to identify important fourth grade standards such as theme, character traits, conflict, etc. Each week students will receive a book club schedule that outlines the reading assignments/homework assignments and quiz dates. Students must keep up with their reading. Students are responsible for their books, and should bring them to and from school each day. If a student is absent, he or she is still expected to complete the reading on time, because we will be doing activities in our daily lessons that revolve around the completed reading.
