News & Announcements

(9/6) Mrs. Brown’s 4th grade students enjoyed music science day! Students participated in various soundwave experiments. The class was able to listen to a tuning fork to hear sound wave vibrations up close! Tubular sticks were used to determine which direction a sound wave was coming from. Glasses were filled with water and students were encouraged to experiment to change the pitch of the glass when it was tapped. In addition, students were able to visualize sound waves as they tapped a drum and the vibrations made the clips dance in the air!

(9/5) During science class, Mrs. McNeal's students broke into small groups and completed a digital water cycle escape room.

(8/30) To gain background knowledge for one of their music showcase songs, 4th grade students in Mrs. Brown’s class participated in an immigration simulation as they studied Ellis Island. The class learned of the rules process of admission into America. Historic Real-life scenarios were put before the class and students were dressed in costume as their stories were shared with the class “immigration board.” The class would listen to each story and vote to decide if the person met the criteria to enter the USA or if they would be deported. The real life result of the case was then shared with the students.

(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!
