The 4th graders have been putting their inference skills to the test in literacy! Students read clues, used their background knowledge, and made inferences to figure out where a person lives and what costume they are wearing for Halloween. 🏡🦇 They had to look beyond what the clues said and use their detective skills to figure out what they could infer! 🔎🧠 The students are learning that good readers don’t just read the words—they think about the clues and put the pieces together! 📚✨#FourthGradeLiteracy #MakingInferences #ReadingDetectives #LearningIsFun

Mrs. Schmitt's Advanced Foods class teamed up with the New Hampton High School Interact Club to create "Recipes in a Bag" as part of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiative. To help combat rising grocery prices and local food insecurity, students assembled bags containing all the ingredients needed for two delicious recipes: Green Bean Casserole and Microwave Fruit Salad. Each bag features the recipe on the outside and all required ingredients inside. These recipe bags will be available in the school's food pantry ahead of Thanksgiving!

The 4th graders had a special opportunity during intervention to visit Mrs. Ollendieck’s 1st-grade class and share their reading skills! 📖✨
The 4th-grade readers have been working hard on reading with expression, fluency, and confidence, and reading to our first graders was a fun way to put those skills into practice! It was wonderful to see our older students sharing their love of reading with our younger learners. 🥰
Building strong readers and a love of books, one story at a time! 💙📚

Our 4th graders were on the ball in literacy class as they tackled idioms with an active SCOOT game around the room! 🤩
Moving from station to station, students put their figurative language skills to the test to decode common expressions. We love seeing our learners put their best foot forward while having a blast! 👣💡

The students in the Housing Class finished their construction unit on how to build homes. This was a very detailed unit covering windows, doors, siding, and roofs. At the end of the unit, they "constructed" a home sign.

Advanced Foods finished their unit on Salads & Dressing. After their test they had a lab and made a dessert salad (Snicker Caramel Apple), Garden Ham Salad on Croissants, and a Cobb Salad complete with homemade croutons and salad dressing. The crew shared their food with teachers on Friday. I think the students were surprised to learn all of the different salads and their country of origin.
