Friday, August 22

Today was a very exciting let down!  It was very exciting because we found more clues about the whereabouts of Harris Burdick.  We also learned to use the library of congress information on the back of a title page to help us identify a book as fiction or nonfiction.  It was a let down because we used the information to find out that The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is fiction. There really is not a Harris Burdick that went missing. It was just a story made up by Chris Van Allsburg. He is such a sneaky writter, but I guess that is what makes him a wonderful author!  But, now we have all decided that instead of taking a field trip to go find Harris Burdick, we want to take a field trip to the Library of Congress.  What a neat place!! 

Here is a link to a virtual tour of the Library of Congress.  Have fun exploring!

Just a reminder to make sure your calendar is marked for Wednesday, August 27th parent meeting.  We will reviewing 4th grade expectations and procedures along with giving out important infromation about our Flat Rock field trip.  If you are unable to attend, we will send a packet of information home.  As always, contact me anytime with questions, comments and concerns.
