On Saturday I took some artwork that our class created to the Dungeness Audubon Center (by the Railroad Bridge Park in Sequim). These pictures will be on display at the Dungeness River Festival art show next weekend (26th-28th).
Most of our class has signed up to take part in the Battle of the Books. I'm still waiting for all of the permission forms to come back in so that I can forward them to the public library. I'm so excited about this! The first book the club will be reading is The Sasquatch Escape by Suzanne Selfors. On Oct. 22, our class will be taking a field trip to the library to meet Suzanne and hear her talk about being a writer.
Coming up soon: The Global Read Aloud! We will be collaborating with a few other classrooms on the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo for six weeks beginning October 6. Right now it looks like we'll be teaming with 4th graders from Seattle Hebrew Academy and from a school in Wisconsin.
Also, beginning on October 1, the 4th graders will begin learning about elements of a book (character, setting, plot, etc.) in anticipation of writing their own novels in the month of November.
