We have finished our first full week in fourth grade! Students have been working hard to remember and refine procedures in the classroom and around the building. In Social Studies, students have hit the ground running on our year of “Virginia Studies” by learning about Virginia’s geography. Students were able to name the five border states to Virginia, describe its relative location and are now beginning to learn about the five geographic regions of Virginia.

Students are working in small groups to create digital posters with information and pictures of one of the five geographic regions. They conducted research using text and online resources in preparation for this project. They will be continuing this in-class project early next week and I hope to have some or all of the finished projects displayed before Back to School night this Monday!

I am looking forward to another week of hard work and success! Don’t forget to “follow” our classroom blog by clicking the tab at the bottom right corner of this page in order to receive email notifications!

Have a great weekend,
