Let's Go Science
April 26th
- Leaving school at 9:15
- Back at school by 12:30pm
The Let's Go Science Show is a wacky look at "how things work" with Professor Smart and Ms. Knowitall. This fun-filled production teaches physics concepts through theatrically based experiments and demonstrations. Lots of audience interaction with these two legends of the circus, great scenery and awesome lighting and illusions all make this one science lesson (with study guides available) that students won't want to miss. - See more at: http://www.rrtheater.org/learn/matinees#sthash.ewP4ELai.dpuf
Farm Expo - February 24th
The fourth grade classes will be going to the fair grounds to attend the Farm Expo on Wednesday, February 24th. We will leave the school at 11:45 am and return by 2:30 pm.
Students will eat an earlier lunch at school at 11:15-11:45. We will squeeze in our ELA and Math lesson before that lunch time. Students will still have math, spelling, and reading homework that night.
Parent Volunteers are not needed for this short trip. However, if you'd like to attend please let me know as soon as possible as there are a very limited amount of seats left on our bus.

WHAT WE WILL DO THERE:
- Sinnott Overlook and Museum: geology and history of Crater Lake National Park
- ID-A-Tree: Practicing their observation skills, students take a closer look at the trees around them and discover what characteristics help define each species.
- Map & Compass: Using topographic maps, students learn how to recognize landmarks around the Rim of Crater Lake and find them on the map. With a compass, they orient the map and learn how to find other visible features and learn how they formed.
