Sorry for the delay in posting (technical difficulties) but here's a great photo of our favorite famous people! The kids did a great job and we all should be very proud!

Techsplorations

On Wednesday, March 19th, the fourth grade had a chance to spend 2 hours with Mr. Wahle, learning snout electricity. The children got to create circuits with doorbells, light bulbs and fans!

Simple Machines

To kick off our study of simple machines, we began by watching some really neat videos of Rube Goldberg machines. This helped to inspire the kids when they headed off to CLIC to create "gumball machines" using a series of simple machines. It was really impressive to see the class challenge themselves, even utilizing homemade pulleys to move their "gumball" up and down!

Hour of Code

Our class had an amazing opportunity this week to explore how to write computer code. Mrs. Klipfel guided us through the process, learning how to "tell" characters what to do online (yes, there were Angry Birds!). The website is accessible from the grade 4 portal on Mrs. Klipfel's blog.
