In Mrs.Bohling's class we are doing reading formatives we have to highlight the main words. Then we read the story. We have to strike out the wrong answers. Then we mark the answer. Then we double check and log out to see our scores. Then we read. The formatives are helpful because they get us ready for the state assessment

Geography Bee



During December, Halstead Middle School had a Geography Bee. Several fourth graders competed in the event. The questions were mostly about seas and countries. All the questions were not taught in the general classroom. There was excitement and frustration in the air. Some of the questions were seventh and eighth grade questions that fourth graders had to answer. Competitors stepped up to the microphone and was asked a difficult question. At the end of the Geography Bee, the scores were tallied up, and people were moved to the finals and then the scores were again tallied up and the winner was an eighth grader. And that is the Geography Bee.
