Our last celebration in 4-307. We have enjoyed 5 years of teaching together and making 4th grade a memorable experience for our students. Wishing everyone a wonderful summer- Ms. Duran & Mr. Fragopoulos #76learns

We love having @Juno76Q in our class💕 #76learns

Rich in vocabulary: words such as imminently, condescending, brevity, beseech, retort... and that’s on merely 2 pages! Want to talk about life lessons too?! And geography?! Teaching Shakespeare has it all! Oh yeah, we touched on Ancient Greek plays as well.

Persistence is the key! This video clip wasn’t working for the lesson at the time I needed it, but we finally got it!! Using some humor from “Shrek”to drive home an important point! Ogres have layers, just like onions do. Well so do complex characters!

Modeling an introduction where students are expected to compare and contrast the book “Number the Stars” with the movie “Life is Beautiful”. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a MUST SEE!

Ever wonder what shoes made out of fish skins look like? Well in the book “Number the Stars” they mention a girl wearing these kind of shoes, so we found an image. What do you think?
