History on Tap

I found a neat idea by a teacher in Alberta, Canada.  Their class built a tipi!  This could work for grades 3-6.  It doesn’t require too many materials (and what you do need you could ask parents to donate.)  It looks like a lot of fun!

Good luck to everyone testing next week!

I found a link for powerpoints for all 4th grade SOL’s created by a teacher in Salem.

I’ve also added the link to the 4th grade page, as well as to the Portaportal.  Since they are not my powerpoints though, I will not upload them onto the 4th grade page and will only provide the link.

If you save the powerpoints to your computer, you are able to alter them!

Congratulations to the John Tyler for winning the 5th Annual History Bowl! They did a great job.

All of the teams did an awesome job and were well prepared. Thanks to the coaches for working so hard with the students!

Good luck to all of the fourth grade teams who are participating in the History Bowl tomorrow!
