We had so much fun during color day on Tuesday. The teams (yellow, red, and blue) we all so supportive. We heard cheering and encouragement as we enjoyed the activities together. Even members from different color teams were cheering on their friends. (Photos below) Can you believe we only have 7 days until the summer break? We have accomplished so much this year. We can't believe we can almost call these kiddos 4th graders! This week students also watched the 5th grade concert and participated in the Marshmallow Structure Challenge. Some students also dressed up in their favorite costumes or outfits for dress up day. Others chose to also wear their PJs for pajama day. All of these events are a great way to wrap up the year. This week was also Ms. Merrell's birthday! She shared some of her childhood memories with us. We learned she once lived in Italy and France. She also traveled around the countries with her family for months. We also learned that she was able to experience a different kind of school. Her classroom consisted of learning through nature and knowing this is so interesting. Her school teachers explored and learned outside a lot. Math:

During Art class this week students glazed their pinch pots. During Library this week students listened and watched a read aloud. The book was called Here Comes the Garbage Barge by Johan Winter. The book was about a strange occurrence. In the 1980s, a barge full of Long Island's trash departed on a journey of disposal. 3,2,00 bags of garage left the harbor because at this time Long Island's landfills were overflowing and polluting the groundwater. Local government had to think of a plan of disposal and they made an agreement with the south to dispose of their trash. Little did they know that they would soon be denied docking rights to various placed in the south. They traveled for over 6 months to areas in the south trying to find someone to take their trash. This book was a fictionalized story of a true event in history. The characters and events were created for humor but the moral of the story taught us that recycling was very important. Recycling lessens the trash amount and is better for the environment. Upcoming Events:
