4th Grade: November 8, 2017

Today in class we continued our unit "Las Islas."  We finished a speaking and listening activity from last week, we read a few short paragraphs about the land and animals, and began talking about other similarities and differences.   

Ask your student:
  • What are some similarities and differences between Mackinac Island and the Dominican Republic?  (In class today, we talked about the fact that they have a lot of schools and cars in the DR, while on Mackinac Island there is only one school and no cars.  Both places have a lot of tourists.)
