Pioneers!

Today we started a journey on the Oregon Trail. Students are working in groups to see if they can make this dangerous journey from Independence, Missouri. They have to make a plan deciding what supplies they will bring and they will encounter many dangers along the way.

Building a Monument

Students had a challenge in library to create an American Revolution monument today. They used some of the new maker space materials and worked in cooperative groups. 


Don't forget to dress as a character from a book tomorrow!

Also bring in those Box Tops!  Fourth grade is doing a great job with this!

Great Day!

This class had a great day- really a great week!  They worked so hard on both their math test and their evaluate reading tests today so we had to end the day with a little fun. It was just too pretty to sit inside!

Matter Stations and Free Gym

We finished up our science stations today looking at the other areas of matter we learned about in class. Students looked at mixtures, density, and properties of matter. We were also the first class in the building to turn in our Jump Rope for Heart permission slips and earned a free gym class that was redeemed today!
