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.
