Picture of the Week


Mrs. Benton is on her computer showing the class a game. She's the quarterback and she has to send it to the receiver. Everyone's cheering for her. The mouse is broken though. If it keeps that up, she'll have to buy a new computer.

A Moment From Our Week

Pep Rally


Our class went to the Pep Rally.  Dustin Hood was there.  The guys from WABB and all the St. Paul's players were there.  The pep rally was on Quigley Field and 3rd and 4th graders got to go.  We cheered for our team!  It was awesome!

A Moment From Our Week

Testing Magnets


This week we tested things to see if they were magnetic.  We tested nails, screws, rubber bands, copper, cardboard, foam, paper clips, string, different rocks, and pieces of screen.  The class took magnets and put them on the objects.  We found out that the paper clips, the nails, the screws, the screen, and only one of the type of the rocks stuck to the magnet.  Everything else didn't stick.  The things that stuck were magnetic.  Everything else wasn't.  That's how we got our results for this 4th grade experiment.
