http://fourthgradeshoutout.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Special Guest, Special Times. Following chapel, Ms. Sheila came to fourth grade as Mary Johnson, wife of Anthony Johnson, an indentured servant who first arrived in Jamestown from Angola in 1621. After many long years of backbreaking work on Master Edward Bennett's tobacco farm, Mary and Anthony became free. They and their children eventually acquired 900 acres of land and owned livestock and several indentured servants themselves. The finale was having all the teachers toget...

Fourth Grade Shout Out: School Day 1899 Style
http://fourthgradeshoutout.blogspot.com/2012/05/school-day-1889-style.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2012. School Day 1899 Style. Today we traveled back in time to Pleasant Valley School in Stillwater. It was 1899 and we were students attending that school. In actual fact, our names were authentic names of students who actually attended this one room school house. For instance, there was Effie, Clarence, George, Bell, Martha, and many more. Charming, isn't it? Time for school to begin-boys on one side and girls on the other. Interesting items to look at and guess what they were used for.

Tuesday, May 8, 2012. OKC Capitol Building Visit. Our OKC Capitol Building is enormous with over 600 rooms. It is nearly 100 years old but the dome was only added in 2002. Our guide, John, did a super job of showing us around the building and giving us important details. He took us first to the Hall of Governors which features a bust of every governor of Oklahoma. This statue is a smaller version of The Guardian, the statue that sits on top of the dome. Future representatives for our fair state :). We ev...

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. We gathered some good old Oklahoma clay, mixed in some water, added some straw, and toiled away. We decided this task was not for the faint of heart. Just lifting the bucket full of moist clay was. We know that the Israelites had to endure so much as slaves in Egypt. Did God know how hard it was? Absolutely. God was there working and revealing Himself time after time. We can trust Him ALWAYS! Posted by Mrs. Carol Anderson. Sunday, August 21, 2011. To personalize this verse, our ...

Saturday, March 26, 2011. Experiment: How Much Effort? Forces and Machines" is our current unit in Science so we put some process skills to work and did some hypothesizing, predicting, experimenting, and inferring. We wanted to know how the position of the fulcrum affects the amount of effort needed to balance the load? We talked about a seesaw and the challenge of balancing the seesaw when one person is heavier than the other. Posted by Mrs. Carol Anderson. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. It is great to watch t...

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Spying played a very important role in the Revolutionary War! We discovered that men and women often took up this courageous role as the thirteen colonies pursued liberty. One particularly brave female was Wyn Mabie. Our very own Mrs. Bass recently portrayed Wyn to the fourth grade. The book Daughter of Liberty. By Robert Quakenbush tells Wyn's heroic story. Wyn dressed in riding habit finery. Truly Wyn Mabie was a heroine of the Revolutionary War! Thursday, January 19, 2012.
