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)

Youth Teaching Youth - Rocks
Yeah, it's been awhile (between posts)!
Linda Gillis, from the Utah Museum of Natural History, and students from Glendale Middle School made their second visit to Room 207 and presented hands-on activities about rocks. Check out the video below and see if you can correctly answer the quiz at the end. Good luck!

Youth Teaching Youth - Fossils
Hands-On Science
Linda Gillis, of the Utah Museum of Natural History, and four students from Glendale Middle School came and led students from room 207 in observational hands-on activities with fossils. Check out the highlights below.
*Fourth graders remember that fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants or other organisms from the past.

Mrs. Banco visited classrooms to honor students who have not been late, not once, for the first trimester of the school year. Way to go!
