UMFA - Fall Visit
American Indian Exhibit
Today's field trip to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts gave students the opportunity to observe American Indian art. Docents took small groups of students on personalized tours of the museum. This is our first of two trips. We'll return in the Spring, when they'll have a new exhibit (Egyptian themed). Mr. Kelly wants to know: "What was your favorite piece of art at the museum?" Leave me a comment. Look for mine in the video. Hint: It has something to do with New Zealand and the Maoris.

Reminders!
Field Trips & School Pictures
On Monday we will receive a visit from a Utah Museum of Fine Arts representative. They will come in and prep us for our visit to the museum on Tuesday, October 6. This is part of our 4th grade Art education curriculum. The Tuesday field trip will take 2 hours out of our regular morning schedule, and we will be back in the building by noon for lunch. We do make a second trip to the museum in the Spring.
Thursday, October 8, we will be headed to Red Butte Gardens. We are currently studying Utah environments/habitats (desert, wetland, and forest) and look forward to providing students with this learning experience with plants natural to Utah.
*Please make sure your student is here at school on time, especially the days we have field trips scheduled.

Introducing Ms. Pat
Google Earth Measuring Tool Lesson
Pat Lambrose works in the Instructional Technology Department for the Salt Lake City School District. She has been my mentor, for implementing technology into my teaching (eMINTS), over the past 3 years. I respect her and appreciate her knowledge and assistance.
Today Ms. Pat taught the students of Room 207 to use the measurement tool on Google Earth. This tool allows you to measure distances or paths, with variable increments (e. g. feet, miles, meters, kilometers). Students measured our school field virtually to find out wether or not we actually ran a mile for P. E. this past Monday. It turns out that 4 laps around our field is a little over a mile! We'll have to let Becky know! We also found the field's perimeter and area.
Remember Ms. Pat's challenge 4th graders: Demonstrate to a friend or someone at home how the measurement tool on Google Earth works!
