As part of Cooking Around the World's unit on Russia and Ukraine, the students did a folk art called Pysanka (which means "to write"). The eggs were done using beeswax and dyes. Each symbol has a meaning.

Day 2 of School of the Wild was a chilly one, but they still had so much fun learning outdoors! Students worked together to solve math problems using GPS skills, strengthened their communication and teamwork through the Human Knot activity, and explored habitats and shelters. So many important life skills were practiced today through hands-on learning and teamwork!

Fourth graders in Ms. Schwickerath's science classes explored how different bird beaks are specially designed to help birds eat various types of food. After learning about these adaptations, students participated in a hands-on activity where they tested different “beaks” to see which ones were most effective for picking up certain foods. This engaging experience helped them better understand how form relates to function in the natural world.

Fourth graders had a busy and exciting day at Twin Ponds! During one of the rotations, they went on a hike where they searched for animal tracks and observed creatures in their natural environment. Students also identified producers and consumers, as well as classified animals as carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores. In addition, they explored the new displays in the Nature Center and had fun playing the interactive game “Oh, Deer!”

4th Grade worked on their PBL during ISASP week titled Dream it, Draw it, Create it, Persuade it. They had so much fun seeing how much things would cost and what they would want in their dream bedroom. They also had to write a letter to their parents persuading them to purchase them a new bedroom. Watch the slideshow below!
