    In the News

    POSTED AT 05:10 PM


    I am enjoying my classes this school year. The students are enjoying math and science! In math they are creating bar and line graphs. They are learning the phases of the moon in science and the solar system. They conducted several investigations designed by AIMS. They will be designing a diaroma on the solar system in the next week. I use a variety of resources to teach my students and one is technology. They went to the computer lab and conducted a Thinkquest. In the next few weeks I will post some pictures of their projects.

    Electricity

    POSTED AT 03:43 PM

    The students are learning about electricity in science. They have made a simple circuit using a battery, wire, and light bulb. They found out it took 10 D cell batteries to light a regular light bulb. When they made a prediction they guessed it would take 1-5 batteries. Next the students tested materials to see if it was a conductor or an insulator. They learned conductors allow electricity to flow through and insulators do not. The students will be learning about different types of circuits and electrical safety.

    Class sizes

    POSTED AT 06:03 PM

    This school year the 4th grade classes will have 32-34 students per class. I am going to spend most of the first week of school teaching rules and procedures. The students will receive an agenda where I will post daily conduct and notes when needed. Parents, please help me this year by encouraging your child to follow directions the first time given. The students will have a successful year if we work together.
     
    It is my goal that every child will have a wonderful school year! :)

    School Supplies

    POSTED AT 09:33 AM

    Parents, students only need a few supplies for my classroom. We will have community supplies for art projects. I have purchased somethings but will need more as the school year progresses. Your child will need different materials for Mr. Edwards. You may bring supplies on Meet The Teacher night. If you paid $25 for supplies, then you do not need to purchase anything.
    Thank You!
