Fourth grade brings lots of changes to elementary school life. One of these changes is the number of textbooks the students have. To give them time to look through the books and to give them time to talk with their classmates, we have a 'Scavenger Hunt.'
To do this, the students are divided into groups. Each student has a page of questions, for example: Where would you find the Yazoo River? As a group, they decide which of their books they need to look in to find the answer...then they look it up and write their answer on their papers.

I encourage them to all work together. This helps me to see who are my leaders, who are the followers, who works well in groups and who doesn't....
Oh boy...a new school year!
