Spring Break

Just a few more days and we will be back at school. Hope everyone has enjoyed their break and I look forward to seeing your smiles on Tuesday. :) 

Museum to Go with Raven Hill

Cheri Leach from Raven hill brought us their Museum to Go program once again this year. The kids are able to use hands on materials to learn and review science concepts they learn from K-6 grades. 

Westward Movement

As we work on the theme of Movement in Social Studies, students read about different types of movement. They took notes and then reported back to the class. The learned about the push and pull factors in California, Ohio, the Great Plains and Oregon. They were excited to hear information we had previously discussed as well. 

Snowshoe Adventure!!!

Our 3rd and 4th grade classroom ventured out on this cold March morning to have a snowshoe adventure. A fantastic time was had by all!! We split up into two groups and after our adventure, the instructor for the 4th grade group commented that we were one of the best groups she had ever taken out. Not only did they do a great job walking in their snowshoes, only a few accidents, but she also heard very few complaints. Go 4th graders!!!! Alanson Proud! :)

Raven Hill Challenge Day

Students were challenged to make a magnet mover. They were given the option of many 

different objects and had to work as a team to create something that would move their magnet from point A to point B. Every team passed their challenge!! A few teams came up with similar ideas but overall they all ended up with unique projects that did the job. Thank you Raven Hill for coming to our classroom. 

GEAR UP with Raven Hill Day 1

Raven Hill will be visited our classroom on Thursday. They were supposed to be back Friday but due to the snow day, they will be rescheduling.

 They are bringing a new program called Gear Up; Great Engineering Adventures in Robotics for Unlimited Potential. They will be reviewing 4th grade science concepts and doing hands on activities with the students to strengthen their understanding of force and motion, simple machines, electricity and magnetism, as they relate to robotics engineering.
