In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Museum Field Trip


We had a great day at the museum today. Students learned a lot about David Thompson, the British explorer who traveled (and mapped) the entire Columbia River. Lewis and Clark even used some of his maps. I think everyone's favorite part of the field trip was paddling the canoes in the Columbia River. One canoe was "American" and one was "British." The American canoe won, when my group did it anyway. I hear the British won with other groups.
