Our weather podcasts are now on-line! These are the forecasts that we created in December and that students have been recording in computer class. Go to Fourth Grade Weather Podcasts to listen.

On Friday, we had a field trip to the Nature Museum. Students got to see spiders, snakes, and turtles; explore how locks and dams work; look at the different homes animals build; and my favorite part: visit the butterfly room! We also were able to take a class there discussing different types of habitats and how they meet the animals' needs.



I recently sent home a letter about the science fair. Please review this with your child, noting that questions are due to me by next Wednesday and procedures due the Tuesday before break. The experiment needs to be conducted at home, and if you are traveling over spring break, the questions and procedures may be turned in for my approval earlier so students have more time to work on it.
