Projects We'll Do

All about Me- This project is a beginning of the year project to help me get to know my new students. It's also a terrific chance for students to introduce themselves to their classmates.

Indiana Regions Project - This project gives kids a chance to show what they've learned about Indiana's geography. It involves identifying the three geographical regions of Indiana, four major rivers, the capital, and 5 points of interest. Students will also be expected to make their map in 3-D to show the elevations of our state.

Little House on the Prairie/ Pioneer Study - Students get the opportunity to read Farmer Boy and/or Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. They then participate in projects such as:

creating an authentic pioneer journal based on material read in the above mentioned books, or through research
Little House Book Report
creating a 3-D pioneer home

Fourth graders also have a pioneer day in December to celebrate Indiana's birthday and to show what they've learned about pioneer life. On that day students participate in activities such as:

one-room schoolhouse for the day
spelling bee
butter making
jam making
packing a pioneer lunch
square dancing
quilting

President's Day project - Students choose a president to research for a President's Day presentation. Dressing in character is part of the presentation.
