PLACE PROJECT Stream Study and POETRYStudents worked in teams to take data and observations collected at Centennial Park, and report their findings using art and data tables. Through this process, comparisons were made, questions were asked, and new predictions were made. Learners published the poetry they composed during our last excursion! Below is just a taste of the beautiful writing done by Team 4K and Team 4W...stop by the 4th grade hallway to enjoy them all! DIVISION Learners have been focused on division and problem solving. Estimating, interpreting remainders, and solving division problems through regrouping have been things we practice daily!
OPERATION HILLSIDETeams were busy with Operation Hillside this week! Students developed questions and interviewed Mrs. Patterson in hopes to gain more clarification about the parameters for our hillside project. Thank you, Mrs. Patterson, for your time, support, and feedback! ![]() Measuring the area of the hillside was part of our information gathering this week as well! Because communication is an important component to teamwork, we played a game called Observer, Communicator, Artist Each team of 3/4 is charged with replicating a picture as accurately as possible in the time allowed. The observer is the only person on the team who may see the picture. He/she may only talk to the communicator. The communicator may carry information back and forth between the observer and artist, but may not see the picture, and may not draw on the paper. The artist must draw what he/she is told, exactly. Finally, teams worked together on Friday to bring all of their big ideas into focus. Preliminary drafts are in the works!
