Fall with Fourth Graders

This year's BookMARK has been great so far with Ms. Miller's 4th grade class from Eberwhite Elementary School. Our BookMARK sessions so far this year have consisted of assisting Ms. Miller with classroom instruction and review of materials. One session, the students were learning about being archeologists where Ms. Miller dumped out the trash can on the floor and the students were to decipher the "excavation site" and theorize what the civilization used each item for. The kids were totally grossed out, but it was a fun and inventive way to display the concept! As BookMARK volunteers, we helped each student see past a Coca-cola can to something that a distance culture may have used as a flower vase or maybe a pop-up chair. We have been having a great time getting to know Ms. Miller and her class and look forward to next semester!!
