We have made derby cars, studied the stars, throw eggs using gravity (and a catapult), rediscovered America during the Colonial Period, learned about the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln!

It has been a busy year, but we aren't done yet.

Still to come in Science, we learn more about matter and energy and then go back to life science to build and monitor terrariums. We will need some clear 2-liter bottles for this project. If you use 2-liter colas, rinse the bottles and send them in for us!

Still to come in Social Studies, we are finishing up our Abe Lincoln Unit which will culminate with our trip to Springfield at the end of April. We end the year with a look at one of the most prominent Civil Rights proponents, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Students will explore his life and learn about his non-violent fight for racial equality. We end the MLK Unit with a research paper similar to the ones we did on the Founding Fathers at the beginning of the year.

Additionally, ELA and Social Studies do cross-curricular work on the Wax Museum Project. Each student learns about one historical figure and then presents them to the community during our Wax Museum day in May. Be sure to get grandparents and other interested relatives to save the date! Ms. Meyer will send out a note and put it on Dojo soon.

Have a great rest of the best school year ever! 2024-2025 - Mr. Earls
