Here are some adventures from fourth grade. 
Recess: There are so many things at recess. Like football, basketball, playground, wall ball, soccer, and baseball.

The Cup game

Get some friends and play this awesome game. Get 6 cups and rubber bands. Make a circle of one rubber band with six other rubber bands tied on to it.

Everyone takes one of the six rubber bands in their hand to pull the circle open. Use the circle to loop over the bottom of the cup. Use your team control to lift the cup into position. Repeat until you build a tower!
 

Shapes, shapes and more shapes! In math our class has been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We’ve used a variety of fun tools to explore shapes’ characteristics including play dough, pattern blocks, dice and a shape hunt!

What an incredible turnout to our chalk the block event. Thank you to our amazing PTA for making this happen. It was phenomenal watching students, families, faculty, members of the community and our PTA come together to create master pieces expressing talent, hard work, and dedication. The night was filled with fun, laughter, delicious treats, and time with one of the best communities we could live in. We have so much admiration and gratitude towards our wonderful community. Thank you for being a true Mustang!

Picture day is tomorrow, September 28th! 

Our class got the chance to become explorers and explore our way to the new world! This game required teamwork, luck and creativity. Each team had to choose which country would be their sponsor, Spain or Portugal. After choosing our sponsor we set sail! We had to use our skills in order to be successful on our trip. At our first stop we had to decide if we wanted to let our sailors off the ship and risk them running away or risk an angry crew. What should we do?? Our supplies got low and a few people fell overboard, don't worry we were able to save them.

Ms. Taylor's 1st graders are practicing beats with Cello Wars and "light sabers". What an “out of this world” day on music! 

Students are practicing finding the beat and rhythm to various songs like Pirates of the Caribbean, Best Day of my Life and Rainbow Connection. 

Second graders experimented with different kind of candies today. Students were true scientists. They discussed their predictions and findings with one another. These are our future scientists!
