Radio Station Trip 4th/5th


The 4th and 5th graders absolutely loved their trip to the radio station. I think they learned quite a bit about the business of running a station and how radio works.

They recorded an advertisement for our cookbook sales and, hopefully, their voices will be around the holidays as they all recorded quick radio station identification clips.

Enrichment Week 4 and 5

I am having such a great time with your students. They are delightful. All students have received a login for the Challenge Math. We will be doing this weekly in class. This week, the 2nd and 3rd graders worked on some challenge math and logic problems. They also worked on their "So there I was..." stories. We also started investigating what local businesses do with their leftover food. Next Tuesday, they will bring in their findings (my guest teacher will have the results from the four places Kennedy and I visited). The students will also be researching the care of a class pet. Yes! Our guinea pig purchase has been approved and we will be putting together a brochure about caring for this pet. This week, the 4th and 5th graders finished our cookbook.

They will be working on Odyssey of
