History 4 Fourthies:
Students in 4-C had a great Living History experience today. The immigrant families braved storms,
close quarters, and seasickness on the steamship "St. Catherine," with their faithful Captain Cavallo, in order to get to their destination, the United States. Cheers rang out from the crowd as the ship came upon Lady Liberty. From all walks of life, and a variety of countries, these girls shared foods from their land of origin, storries from their journals and received certificates and were welcomed as new citizens of the United States of America!

Mathematics:
Students will begin reviewing the math concepts
 they have learned this year and will be reviewing
 this week and next. The girls will be taking an 
End of Year Test on Wednesday, May 29th.

Language Arts: Many of the girls have completed their Immigration Journals and will be working on a fantasy story based on the book, There's an Elephant in the Bathtub. It is a fictional tale of a little boy who can see and hear animals. The only problem is the adults in the story can neither see nor hear the animals, so the little boy is not believed, until the animals save the adults from a disaster.  



Literature:
We are in the middle of Rifka's adventure, as she tries to keep her family together and travel to the United States so that they can become citizens. The family has ups and downs, have had illness and have recovered and are once again on their way to America.

Classroom Art:
Students will be working on a project using their first name and symmetry to create the design with bright crayons and watercolor.
