Navigating our way around the Topsfield Fair

How will students be able to find their way around the Topsfield Fair?  By using their map skills, of course!

On Friday, Team Gibbas students practiced their map skills in a fun way by using the official Topsfield Fair map.  Students were given a map story about visiting The Topsfield Fair and were asked to navigate to specific locations using the compass rose, the legend, and the index.





Grade 4 Common Core Standards

2.  Interpret a map using information from its title, compass rose, scale, and legend. (G)

It's almost here!


Hello Team Gibbas,

Our fourth grade shared adventure will begin in only a few more days!  I am so excited!  I wanted to tell you three quick things to help you prepare for our first day of school this coming Tuesday, September 6th.

1.  We will have gym on Tuesday so wear your sneakers!

2.  It will be warm in our classroom during the first few weeks of school and it is important to stay hydrated, so please bring in a reusable water bottle that you can refill daily and keep under your desk.

3.  Our specials are now listed under the "Schedule" tab on the blog, but here they are for a quick reference.


I am looking forward to meeting you all!

Warmly,

Mrs. Gibbas
