Science Fair

I am so proud of our students and the effort they put into their Science Fair projects!  A job well done, and lots of learning in the process!
The rest of the class enjoyed checking out other displays and learning some pretty fun facts!  Ask your child what they found interesting today!
Remember... the show is on again tonight from 6-7pm!

Social Studies



A fun project in Social Studies to replicate a First Nations tipi, and decorate it with symbols that mean something important to us.

We all learn!

Yes, we are all learning and I love all the different ways in which students learn.  It's not always the traditional desk and chair that works for students.  Students love to get on the floor, under a table, under a cushion, lay down... any way to get comfortable!  Who can blame them?   Here are some pictures that demonstrate how our class works and learns!  I'm amazed at the amount they get done in their little corners!

Puff Adder

We recently read a fictional story about a Puff Adder in Language Arts.   We are currently writing a sequel to the story!  Here, we are creating our own snakes to go with our sequels.  Fun times in 4C!
