What is immigration?

We have been reading about Grandfather and Grandson, two people who are in the same family and who have similar lives.  Both of them immigrate to the United States from Japan.

What do other immigrants do?

After watching the video, please visit Spelling City to practice your words for this week.  Please choose the right list for you!

Grandfather's Journey

For the next two weeks, we will be reading about a family of immigrants.  They travel between Japan and the United States throughout their lives.

America has a history of people immigrating from many different countries!  You may watch the Schoolhouse Rock video "The Great American Melting Pot" before practicing your new spelling list on our Spelling City website.

Lewis and Clark and Me Spelling

Good morning 4th graders!

For the next two weeks, we will be learning about the expedition of Lewis and Clark.  You might have heard of them before and their famous trip west across the United States.  However, our story this week will be told from a unique point of view!  (You might even be able to make some connections to our last story, Because of Winn Dixie).

You may watch the short video from School House Rock about Lewis and Clark.  After the video, click this link to work on Spelling City practice activities.  Be sure to choose the correct link for you!
