Great Last Day!

Writing Coming Home 📝📚

Look for writing portfolios and our fourth grade poetry anthology coming home. They should be proud of their writing!

Constructing Roller Coasters 🎢

Today students worked in groups constructing roller coasters out of cardstock. We tested out the coasters using marbles. They turned out great!

Fun Day Rain Style 🌧

These are a few days late but we had a great time at our indoor Fun Day!

Daniel Boone’s Home

Today we stepped back into pioneer days and visited Daniel Boone’s Home. We lucked out with the weather and learned about pioneer life. 

Egg Drop and Measuring Speed 🍳

We had two fun activities today. In science we created mini helicopters and participated in trials measuring their speed dropping them from a height of 2 meters. Our balloon pop today was participating in an egg drop. We had two eggs survive from our class which is actually very good!  We popped tomorrow’s balloon before we left today. Tomorrow will be a hat day and students can wear their hats on our field trip. 

Math and Art 🎨📝

Don’t you love a good crossover?  In math students have been making tesselation creations. Check out these amazing projects!

Friction Experiment

Today we tested out small car ramps made of different materials to test how far their cars would go. We had ramps made of aluminum foil, wax paper, sandpaper, tissue paper, and bubble wrap. We learned how different surfaces can influence the distance the cars would move. 

4th Grade is Picture Perfect! 📸

Today as a class we made a big timeline of our year. It is fun to look back at all the pictures. Especially those August and September pics. They sure have grown!

Stuffed Animals and Ramp Builders

Fourth graders sure love their stuffed animals!  Today our balloon pop was stuffed animal day and we had some cute ones. We also spent some time in science building ramps using different types of materials to create friction. Tomorrow we will test out these ramps using cars. 

Balloon Poppin’ Fun & Tesselations 🎈

Can you tell they are excited?  We have started our countdown to the end of school. Tomorrow’s balloon we actually popped today so they could bring in their items. We are having a board game party!  We are also working hard with a fun geometry project in which the students are making tesselations. It is harder than it looks!

JA in a Day

Today we were lucky enough to have presenters from Panera talk to our class about economics through the Junior Achievement program. The students learned a lot while having fun!

Buddy Break

We took a break from all of our testing this afternoon and met up with our buddies in the library. Mrs. Graef complimented our class for their great behavior and the good example they set for their first grade buddies.
