AMAZING ANIMALS OF CENTRAL AMERICA

An expected standard for fourth graders is to learn how to use multiple nonfiction resources to research and write an information report. In Proctor, the fourth grade decided to use this as an opportunity to integrate the subjects of social studies, science, technology and language arts. In 4K, we focused on Central America. We have been researching, planning, writing, editing and creating for quite a few weeks.  As part of this country project, we researched animals found in Central America. The wildlife there is quite varied and very different from what we find around our country. 4K created a movie using i-movie and the green screen apps to teach everyone what we learned about the fauna of Central America.

NAVIGATORS GAME

On June 10, all the students of  Proctor School were lucky enough to take a field trip to a North Shore Navigators baseball game. We not only saw a great game in which the Navigators won, but we were able to see the Proctor School Marching Band perform the Star Spangled Banner and Sweet Caroline during the 7th inning stretch.  Our class connected this field trip to the standards by creating a book of idioms that originated from the game of baseball.
