Musical Instrument Making
Three of our students, Hannah, Riley, and Tyrrell, spoke at our assembly to the whole school this morning about their experiences making musical instruments, and showed off their creations. Their instruments were great examples of how people can have ideas, design them, and make them a reality with the right tools, materials, and guidance. Kudos to all the student designers, and the great instruments and music they are bringing to life!
All School Service Learning
Our service learning council, including Strawberry representative Sam, also spoke at today's assembly about their plans for an all-school service project, a walk-a-thon, planned for the end of the school year. They are excited to hear from other students, parents, and teachers about how they would like to be involved and ideas they have to make this a success. Students will also be choosing which people-oriented charity the money should go to. A suggestion box is in the EGG office at the front of the Depot as you walk into the school, if you have ideas you'd like to share.
Fourth grade math
Purple group: Because of our excellent assembly this morning, math class was short today. We continued talking about perimeter, and students shared their strategies for keeping track of all the sides and making sure they are added correctly.
4th Grade Blue Group: The blue group explored perimeter using tiles to discover how perimeter can change even when the area (number of tiles) does not.
