Learning about Electricity and Math ~ and Remembering Our Friend, Patty




















Remembering Patty

Today we will be remembering our beloved custodian, Patty, with a picnic and garden ceremony. This is just what she would have loved- celebrating her life. The view outside our classroom window has changed- we now see a beautiful garden dedicated to Patty. Check back later this week for more pictures of today's celebration.




Learning Math and Electricity

We started learning about magnetism and electricity in science, and about volume in math. Both of these units are enjoyed by the students, largely because they are able to actually try the things we are learning about. Later this month we will be making circuits and electromagnets. Look for follow up photos as we continue to learn about these topics.

Electricity and Magnetism: Experimenting with magnets



























Don't Forget
  • T-shirts should be in school tomorrow so that we can tie them and have them ready for Tie-Dye Tuesday next week
  • Please send in your child's hands-on project tomorrow. We need the projects here to set up for the US Expo, which is Thursday morning.
  • Don't forget our US Expo, this Thursday from 9-10:15. People attending will walk through the cafeteria and the gym, to observe the portfolios of all of the fourth graders.
  • Please make plans for getting your child's hands-on project home this week. We cannot have the projects left in school, due to the fire code.
Thank you!
