World Tour Day

The fourth graders got to spend a morning learning about various countries.  We had been preparing for this day for several weeks.  Each teacher selected a country to teach.  Parents stepped in to help prepare food, teach lessons, bring in examples, and help monitor students.  I could not have done this without all your help.  Thank you to everyone involved.

Mythology Floats

The students were allowed to work individually or in groups to
create a float based on a God or Goddess from a book read
during Library.

Mrs. Joyce's class came for a tour and to view a photostory.

Sea Turtle Presentation

A representative from the Sea Lab came to speak to our students the last week of school.  The fourth graders presented her a check for $500.  The students got to participate in an activity demonstrating the probability of a sea turtle egg actually hatching and then how long a young sea turtle might survive.  The students learned that only 1% of the eggs laid will actually mature into an adult sea turtle.
