Fourth grade is focusing on the Olympics for the 2016/2017 school year. We have many activities planned to stage our own Olympic type events this year. If you were able to participate in the World Olympics, for which event would you most want to win a gold medal?

In class today, you were building bridges. Write a comment about the bridge you think is the best design and tell why. You might wish to share about the most exciting bridge you have been across.
Nice job on cultural resumes class. We are spending some time this year looking outside of our little corner in Western Kentucky to find out what life would be like in a place far away from us. Consider the country of Greece. What do you already know about Greece? What do you think you know about Greece? Hint: It isn't the really cool movie from 1978 starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. Does anyone in your family have any cultural ties to Greece?
Post your cultural resume following the pattern I use here.
I was born in Hickman County,Kentucky, and grew up on my family's farm in Carlisle County, where I now live. My mom and dad were both born in Ballard County, Kentucky. I have traced all 4 of my grandparents' family history (Shelbourne, Adams, Watson, Myatt) back to England. The longest connection in the U.S. is the Adams family, descendants of 2nd president John Adams. I have visited 32 states, and in addition to Kentucky, lived in Ohio, Nebraska, and for two weeks, lived out of my car, in Wyoming. I've never lived outside the United States , but have traveled to Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Mexico. I speak broken German and very weak Spanish. |
