A Little Note from Ms. Fagan

I am so excited to be a member of the UES community! Teaching is my passion and I believe all students can achieve success. My goal is to foster a learning environment for lifelong learners. I have met 25 incredible students in my 4th grade magnet class. I know the year is going to be full of surprises and accomplishments!

Landscape of Egypt

Today we began our study of ancient Egypt!  We read a decision-making story about a boy who lost his brother along the Nile River.  The class learned lots of new vocabulary, such as quarry, oasis, desert, and cataract in order to describe the landscape in Egypt.  Tomorrow, we will begin creating a map of ancient Egypt.  We will be locating geographical features, natural resources, ancient landmarks, and ancient cities.




Check out the link below to try your fate in the story we read today.  There are also great maps to reference and a fun, challenging map game using coordinate grids.
