We had a great time studying the Iditarod and Alaska. Next we travel to Ireland to celebrate the land of St. Patrick. In order to align our unit of study the Vermont's Grade Expectations, we will be looking at Irelend through the lens of immigration. We will learn about the geography of Ireland as an Island and compare that to the county of Grand Isle.
If you have books, videos, pictures of Ireland, please send them in. We will also be doing some traditional Irish cooking with Mrs. Blow in the school kitchen!
For homework next week, children will be working on a report to show what they learned about Ireland. I am sending the Vermont benchmark showing the report standard for the 4th grade, the report rubric, and some information about Ireland to help kids get started. Clean copies will be due on Friday. I will be teaching the format of a good report on Monday so the kids will have some time in class to work on it.
Thanks!
Tracy Pearson
