In 4th grade, much of the curriculum focuses on the state of Virginia. Dylan has been learning the regions of Virginia, the history of Colonial VA, and famous people from Virginia. About a month ago, he selected a topic to research and focus on, knowing he'd have to do some projects surrounding his topic. He chose Thomas Jefferson.
It all came to a crescendo this week during American Education Week, as the kids finished their projects for display and participated in the Virginia Fair. The VA Fair at our school is both an exhibit and a show. And in Dylan's case, he made a video with the iPad as well.
Last night was the big show, and he dressed as Thomas Jefferson, tooted his recorder, danced some Colonial dances and sang songs with all of the 4th grade. He's been very excited, and it went off without a hitch. Great job, 4th grade. Way to go Dylan!
One of the projects was to make a collage in the shape of Virginia with all things Thomas Jefferson. Dylan's teacher liked his so much she's keeping it for a sample for next years' 4th graders.
