Thursday, December 4 - Candy Cane Lane (Wear Red & White)

Our 4th graders have been busy learning all about renewable and non-renewable resources in science! Today, they transformed into coal miners and had the important job of removing coal from the land. Before digging in, students observed the “land” (a cookie!) and then carefully mined out the “coal” (chocolate chips).

They loved seeing firsthand how mining can change the land—and of course they enjoyed their tasty treat afterward, too.

Hands-on learning at its sweetest!

Today Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deisher’s classes tackled a Thanksgiving STEM challenge — designing a trap for the turkey! Using teamwork, creativity, and lots of laughter, students built clever traps and tested their ideas. We loved seeing their problem-solving skills shine!

Reminder!
Tuesday, November 25- 1:15 Dismissal
Wednesday, November 26- No School
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deisher’s classes teamed up today for an unforgettable Thanksgiving escape room, joining forces, solving clues, and showing off some seriously impressive teamwork! The room was filled with excitement as students collaborated across classes, shared ideas, and cheered each other on. And after cracking codes, uncovering hidden hints, and thinking outside the box, these are the teams who successfully escaped! 🦃🔐✨
