Description of a 4th grade class: This a creative, hard-working class. Kids have electrified brains, computers, a SmartBoard, a web camera, a science area with bones and fossils, and a great view of our town from our third floor windows. In this class you'll find: the Quest Atlantis multi-user virtual environment learning program from Indiana University, Book Talks, Weekly newspaper writing, Learning Centers, International Chess games, Taiwan/Turkey/England/Africa projects, Kidlink projects, Blogging buddies via Classblogmeister, math and science experiments, raising Monarch butterflies, a Monster Project, and other Internet projects all of which combine to make a very very busy year. Kids are engaged in everyday learning, whether the teacher is talking in front of the class, or the kids are in Learning Centers. We have standardized tests each year, but we do not practice or drill for the tests - we focus on social learning, practicing how to work together and share.
 This is the view west from the classroom windows on the 3rd floor.
