My Project

We all enjoy the adventurous journey of our 4th grade year yet many have subtle moments of blah seeping in.

In collaboration with other 4th grade educators I was given the joy of observing activities that helped bring the blah to rest and more sense of enjoyement.

The classic game Scrabble still enlightens the wordsmiths and I hope to bring this into our classroom community! Strategy in Word Teasers is a must and the hope that a thought out guess doesn't bust!

Gratitude abound for your support! Thanking you all!

Ms. Calhoun
Grades 3-5
