4th Grade Open House

Tonight was Open House...a great time for parents to look at all of the hard work the kids have put in this school year.  
 We had to come straight from practice, but enjoyed taking the classroom tour.  First, Allison took us to her desk and showed off her salt map of California, her Meet the Masters Art Portfolio and her 4th grade Memory Book.
Matt spent some time reading her 5-paragraph essay on "The Talkative Turtle."
 Tear Art California Poppy
 Allison's Glyph, which described characteristics through symbols.  My favorite!
 Allison and some of her classmates on the Kindness and Compassion Award wall.
 The Seal that best describes her...Maui, dogs, One Direction, Hershey's chocolate, swimming pool and soccer.
All year the students have been trying to read their way across America.  I love this board that is displayed outside their classroom.
