From Mystery to Medicine
Jan 11th
We have begun studying about the history of medicine! Have you learned anything new so far? What has surprised you the most about medicine? Check out the www.edheads.org link and try out a virtual knee replacement or a virtual hip surgery. What do you think? Comment below.
Starting a Business
Oct 13th
Disney has a website that is a game about starting your own business. Go here and try it out with your partner: http://disney.go.com/hotshot/hsb4/nologin/hsb4_broadband.html?profile_play=%3cbusiness_type%3e. You do not need to “Register”. Just play the game without “logging in.” At about 10:50, log off and discuss with your partner whether this is a good website to recommend to other fourth graders. If you have time, leave a comment below telling your opinion of the game. Be ready to tell me when I return tomorrow if this is a fun and educational game!

We have been discussing the theme Risks and Consequences for the first six weeks of school. Which selection (“Mrs. Frisby and the Crow”, “Toto”, “Sarah, Plain and Tall”, “Escape”, “Two Tickets to Freedom”) was most interesting to you? How did that selection teach you about the theme of Risks & Consequences?
