Mrs. Barrs Martin's and Mrs. Kendrick’s classes celebrated the end of their earthworm study this week with a fun and tasty treat—“dirt cake”! After learning all about how earthworms live and help our soil, students enjoyed digging into their dessert, complete with cookie “dirt” and gummy worms. It was a memorable (and delicious) way to wrap up their hands-on learning!

Mrs. Warren’s 4th grade class has been hard at work learning about line plots! 📊 Students demonstrated their understanding of data collection, graphing, and data analysis by creating line plots to represent the amount of money collected from a lemonade sale.
A select group of students also had the opportunity to step outside the classroom to collect real-world data on classmates’ birthday months. They used their findings to create both a line plot and a pictograph to showcase their results.
We are so proud of their hard work and the way they are applying math skills in meaningful, hands-on ways! 👏
