The first unit the 4th grade team has been working on Become a bookworm!
is inventions. The central idea is: Inventions are Practice makes perfect!
created to solve a problem and fill a need. The
students will be writing in their “Inventor’s Logs”
during school and also for homework. In their
Inventor’s Logs this week, they need to focus on one
or two problems and start brainstorming solutions
for those problems. They should be practical, not “a
robot to do my homework.” They need to have a
“witness” sign the log every time they write in them.
