URBAN NATURE CLUB BEGINS MAY 5, 2009


Thank you to all the students who applied to the Urban Nature Club. Twelve students from the fourth grade have been chosen. Our first project will be planting a school butterfly garden and sprucing up the other gardens on the school property. We will keep a nature journal of our work, observations, discoveries and thoughts. We will also try to have the garden open during lunch periods once we post the rules of the garden on the garden gates. I'm really looking forward to being in the great outdoors with each of you!

FOURTH-GRADE SCIENCE DAY A HUGE SUCCESS




Thank you to all the fourth-graders who came out for science day and brushed up on their scientific skills and knowledge of science. We enjoyed making a literal "food chain," tested our knowledge with Quiz Boards, created awesome things with recycled materials, investigated gadgets for simple machines, worked with inclined planes, discovered what objects conduct electricity, and more. We even made our own Quiz Boards to take home. You are all AWESOME!
