Let's finish out China Glogs today!

Hi 4th Graders,

Today we will finish our China glogs.  I know many of you are close, but have a few missing elements.  Be sure to take a close look at the checklist before you decide you are finished.  Be sure you have captions, and at least seven facts about China.

I wanted to share an example of a finished glog - amazing job, Rose!


When you are finished, you may make a choice to do Ticket to Read, Type to Learn, or Dreambox.


Where in the World was Mrs. Morell?

Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to West Africa for a bit of an adventure.  Can anyone figure out where I was?

Just click on 4th Grade, and then your name to get started.  It should be great fun - can't wait to hear how you like it!
