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.

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.
