Chapman Library Field Trip
Reading Goes Fourth Program
We visited Chapman Library for their Reading Goes Fourth Program. They gave us a tour of the building and then talked about their summer reading program. They gave each student a book and promised another just by returning to the library and mentioning that you'd attended with your teacher. Remember Room 207, "Gotta keep reading!"

Mr. Kelly's "How To" Video
How to Turn on a School Computer
As a class we've been working on creating "How To" videos. First we created a script, then we took video footage with Flip cameras, and now we're putting it into Windows Movie Maker to create the videos (that we'll share here on the class blog). We're excited to finish and share our work. Here's Mr. Kelly's "How To" video.

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief
February 24, 2010
As is tradition with my class, we choose a popular childrens' chapter book with a movie coming out, read the book, see the movie, and make some comparisons. This year we went to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (currently one of my favorite books)! As usual, the movie differed from the book, but was full of action, and the class thoroughly enjoyed it. We greatly appreciate the Gateway Megaplex Theaters for giving us our own private showing, and Salote Tukuafu & the Riley Apple Club for funding the field trip.

Living Planet Aquarium Visit
The Water Cycle in Action
We recently had representatives from the Living Planet Aquarium visit Riley and talk to 4th grade students about the water cycle and the wetlands habitat. Watch the iMovie and see if you can recall the 3 main parts of the water cycle and what occurs.
*Bonus points if you can tell me where Utah ranks as driest state in the U. S. (hint - there's a picture that has the answer in the video)
