Every student was able to get his/her machine to launch and they had fun seeing how far their pumpkins could go! Not everyone’s pumpkin went as far as they hoped it would, but everyone showed amazing support and perseverance! Thank you for all of your support throughout this long-term project. If your child’s Punkin’ Chunkin’ machine is still at school, please make arrangements to come and grab it over the next day or so. Thanks!

Below are pictures of the students with their machines.  It was a little windy, so the video that we took isn’t great, but if we can clean it up some, we will post that as well.  For homework, all students have been asked to finish a reflection sheet on their design process and bring it back tomorrow.

On Friday, 9/16, we sent home information about our first long-term project of the year.  It is called Punkin’ Chunkin’ and electronic copies of the information sent home is available under both the “Parent Resources” and the “Student Resources” pages.

We also started our VIP presentations for the year when Mrs. Kerr presented some information about herself on the 16th.  Mrs. Joy will share her VIP this coming Friday (9/23) and the students will begin their presentations in October.  Information about VIPs will be handed out at tomorrow’s Parent Night (9/20) and is also available under both the “Parent Resources” and the “Student Resources” pages.

Hi! It has been a fun week in Fourth Grade. In PE, the girls have been doing volleyball and the boys are swimming! In Math, we are learning about partial quotients. In Reading, we are learning about Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. April is National Poetry Month so in writing we are writing fun, silly, and touching poetry. In Social Studies, we are studying early Rochester. In Science, we are learning about the Solar System. Thanks!
