Grade 4: Missouri is Bigger than St. Louis
| Description: | Our two fourth grade classes study Missouri all year but our field trips and personal experiences revolve around St. Louis. We'd like to hear from other students around Missouri to broaden our understanding of this state. What is important in your community? How is life different in an urban, rural, and suburban setting? Where does your school go on field trips? What community resources and sites are valued in your area? We're flexible about how to approach this (both content and method: Skype, blogs, wikis, VoiceThreads). Thank you for helping a beginning collaborator! |
