Flat Stanleys Have Been Arriving

It has been so exciting to receive so many emails and letters from Flat Stanley's travels. He has had lots of adventures that have been beautifully narrated by family and friends. We even had a poem written about his outing! He has gotten to see so many places. We will be looking closely at each adventure as we "travel" in our social studies units to each region of the United States. This is a year long project, so you are welcome to tell friends and family that have not sent Stanley that he can come back anytime. He is even welcome to have multiple excursions :). As we study each of Flat Stanley's adventures I will send all of the artifacts from his adventures home with the student who sent him. Thank you so much for supporting our project. I have loved this as much as the kids!

Unit 2 Realistic Fiction Writing a Success!

Students recently published their realistic fiction pieces and shared with students on the downstairs 4th grade team. It was a great opportunity for them to see their friends and receive/give positive feedback on their realistic fiction stories.
