Science: Weather and clouds
Social Studies: Counties of Utah
Currently, Mrs. Taylor's homeroom class is in my class for science and social studies. One of the
required 4th grade curriculum social studies units is to know about all
the counties in Utah. We will be doing a
county project for the duration of this unit. The project is described below
with a checklist on the following page.
Overview
The project is completed mostly in class during this unit. Each student will research and present one county that will be assigned
to them. Students are responsible for:
- filling out the packet
given to them in class to complete their research
- making a tri-fold
cardboard poster.
Research
We will have three in-class
research days (Wednesday January 7th,
Thursday January 8th and Monday January 12th). I will give
students information packets about their county that they will use for
research. Some information will need to be researched on their own time at
home. There is a lot of information that
can be found online. Our library has
introduced them to links that our school has access to that will help with this
report. Also, the public library has county books that could be used for
additional research. The last page of this packet includes a list of resources
that you may use.
County Poster
Students will have four
in-class poster-making days (Tuesday January 13th– Tuesday
January 20th). Please
send a tri-fold poster (cardboard), some pictures, any typed information,
colored paper etc. with your student on or before Tuesday January 20th so
they will have something to work on in class. Students need to type their information at home to glue on the board or
use their best handwriting. These posters will also be presented in class
and again at the County Fair in April. As this is a major fourth grade project,
high quality work is expected.
Thanks for all your support! If you have any questions, please send an
email.
