Lovin' Language Arts

We heart books in fourth grade! During Language Arts, students have an opportunity to explore different genres and respond to readings in writing...here's a little glimpse.

Ms. Hayes' class is reading The Orphan Of Ellis Island by Elvira Woodruff. This chapter book is about a boy named Dominick Avaro, a ten-year-old foster child, who travels back in time to Ellis Island in 1908.

Wilfred, Sean, Catherine and Jaimee really seem to be enjoying the book.

Miss Comunale's class is reading Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. This chapter book tells a story of ten-year old girl Opal. She has just moved to Naomi, Florida with her preacher father. On an errand to the grocery store she finds a homeless dog. Opal is immediately attached to the dog who changes her life.
