FOURTH GRADE STUDIES NEBRASKA Tommy Buck ' Jason Christenson Scott Jackson Lonnie Jones HAMS Te a1 fi tte 4 Levi Reyner Daivd Sorensen Travis Sullivan Peggy Swanson Amy Young Mrs. Carnes The first semester we have been studying people and their surroundings. Comparing the United States to other parts of the world in diversity, interdepen- dence, power, choices, and changes has been our major emphasis. Lessons on self-identity and social skills have also been stressed. The second semester, we will be studying our native state, Nebraska. We're hoping to include a field trip relating to this. We will be making a booklet on the history of Nebraska. Reports, projects, films, film strips, and TV activities correlate to what we are studying. Fourth graders have new workbooks that are compatible with the new reading series from Houghton-Mifflin. Class mother volunteers provided treats and games to make Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day very special. Mother volunteers also helped grade 4 to carry out their Homecoming theme of “Swat the Hornets”. Many areas of the language arts are covered in grade 4.

FIELD TRIPS HIGHLIGHT THIS YEAR Heather Brown Jennifer Christensen Richie Collins Peggy Jackson Kenji Lentz Jennifer Merch Jerry Meyer Renee Petersen Kelli Pritchett Marcy Richter Darci Vetter Kim Creech The third graders have taken three short field trips this year. We went to Central City to see a circus being put together. It was quite a thrill to see the elephants. We took a trip to Lavonne Hutsell’s to see her miniature house. Mrs. Hutsell served punch and cookies. It was a very interesting day. Just before Christmas we took a trip, along with the Ist and 2nd graders, to the Plainsmen Museum to see the Winter Wonderland display. The girls enjoyed seeing the huge doll collection and the boys liked the old jail. Another exciting day for us was Grandparents Day. Several grandparents came to visit school for awhile before enjoying a delicious meal in the cafeteria. We are working hard to memorize our multiplication and division facts in math. Making art projects is serious work.
