🏰✨ 4D went back in time to the Medieval Ages! Students wrapped up their CKLA unit with a fun, hands-on castle project! Working with partners, they designed castles from a shared floor plan and used their math skills to calculate the area of each room. The creativity and teamwork were incredible as they constructed and named their castles. What a fantastic way to connect math and history—awesome work, 4D!
4D has been reading the 2025 Global Read Aloud book, "Will's Race for Home" by Jewell Parker Rhodes. This is a powerful story that follows Will and his father as they journey from Texas to Oklahoma during the 1889 Land Run, hoping to build a better life and find a true home. Through Will’s eyes, students learn about courage, determination, and what it means to chase dreams even when the odds are tough. Students enjoy discussing the story’s themes of family, perseverance, and finding where you belong.
With the Global Read Aloud book, many classrooms across the country are reading the same book and connecting with each other. They share mail by writing about what they predict will happen in the book or their favorite part of the story they have read so far! The students have enjoyed connecting with other students from across the country. We have started getting mail to trickle in. Currently, we are connecting with a class from Michigan over the story!
