Students in Mrs. Durkee's class learned about Medieval life by reading the book ...If You Lived in the Days of the Knights by Ann McGovern. The students then used the program Inspiration to create an organizational chart explaining what they learned from the book. Pictures are from the book to help respresent the topic students chose.

Students across the district are learning to make connections. One type of connection is between a character's emotions in a given story and emotions in their own personal background. To help students with this skill, fourth graders chose some emotions and created a graphic map showing their own personal experiences.
