(8/30) Mrs. Heatherly's fourth graders have been learning about the water cycle. The students were asked to write a story about a water drop's adventure in the water cycle using their vocabulary words from this week. They wrote about how the drop evaporated, condensed, and turned itself into precipitation. Some of the water drops went to a waterpark, and one even slid down a rainbow!

(8/29) In Mrs. Hilliard's 3rd grade gifted class, students engaged in a series of creative and challenging activities designed to stretch their thinking. First, they attempted a drawing using their non-dominant hand, which tested their patience and fine motor skills while encouraging them to think outside the box. Next, they took a left brain/right brain quiz to explore their cognitive strengths and understand how they processed specific information. Finally, they participated in a "finish the picture" activity, where they were given a partial image and had to use their imagination to complete it, showcasing their creativity and problem-solving abilities. These activities fostered a deeper understanding of their own learning styles and cognitive flexibility.

Students identified the organs using a special apron they could wear. On Friday, they learned more about the circulatory system and made a model to show how the heart pumps blood. Fortunately, they don’t mind getting a little messy!

(8/26) This week in PE, students worked in teams to build Hula Huts using 6 hula hoops. Each team had to work together to build the Hula Hut. After the hut was completed, each member had a chance to crawl through the structure. This helped students work on using teamwork and learning from their mistakes.
