(12/5)Mrs. Heatherly's students created symmetry ornaments for local nursing home residents. They wrote to the residents explaining what symmetry is, and they drew half the ornament. The residents will draw the other half of the picture, and they get to keep the ornament as a gift from students at DTC.

(12/5) Fourth grade gifted students had a *butter-making blast* this week! 🧈✨ As part of their study on George Washington, students shook their way to homemade butter and discovered firsthand how matter can transform. They learned that science played a BIG part in Colonial times!
The next day, they stepped back in time and explored a taste of colonial America by learning about George Washington’s favorite breakfast—hoecakes with honey. 🍯🥞 Students enjoyed experiencing an authentic colonial meal and making connections between history and daily life.
Hands-on learning at its best! 💡📚🍽️

(10/8) 🍎🍏 Apple Tasting Fun! 🍏🍎
As an extension to their study of apples, Mrs. Andrews’ and Mrs. Hodum’s classes became apple scientists! They explored three delicious kinds of apples — Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. Students used their senses to observe the color, texture, and taste of each apple, then compared their favorites by creating a picture chart to show their favorite apples.

(10/3) Today, Mrs. Hodum's classes went on a scavenger hunt for the best looking leaves. Then, they created a project describing their best character traits because they are FALLing into good character!

(9/19) Today, Mrs. Hodum's students worked with partners to answer a worksheet about popcorn, and pointed out all the different text features within the passage. They celebrated with a popcorn snack!
