Closing Out 2015

Happy New Year!
I remember when numbers like 2016 seemed so futuristic, but it is our present and I can't wait to see the blessings God has in store for each individual in this class... plus I know that God will use these students to be a blessing to their world and communities this year.
But before we start out a brand new year, let's look back at some pictures from our last two months... and a big THANK YOU to those who are posting pictures on our Shutterfly account.  If you haven't taken a look already, you might want to take a peak and these beautiful students and some of their fun events that have been posted onto our shared site.  Feel free to add any field trip, event, or party pictures as well.

Pictures include:
Read-A-Thon (including a story with the principal and reading in the dark with a flashlight... while enjoying our IMPACT hot chocolate party as a reward for our Red-Ribbon-Week poster!)
an Hour of Code where kids were able to practice online coding
Thanksgiving Feast
Owl Pellets!!!!  coolest and grossest thing all at the same time;)
California regions- clay & paint project!

Fun in Fall

We learn so much each and every day, and every moment of it is a blast!
 4th graders just love climbing that web!
 Series circuit vs. parallel circuit discovery.


 It works!  We love learning about electricity!


 Observing how magnetic poles attract and repel.
 Wow- How did it do that?!
 Raising up intercessors and watching God answer our prayers.
 Superhero day.


 We like to dance.

 Building an electromagnet.



 Look at how strong our electromagnet is!




 Party time- celebrating our October birthdays






 Learning to use bar models through our math WebQuest activity.






 Red Ribbon Week & Assembly
 Grandparents Day in the chapel.  4th graders sweetly sang "I Love You, Lord."
 Then we brought our grandparents and special guest over to play games, teach us something new, and have fun as a family.
 Interviewing grandparents to learn more about them.
 Trivia Time: Are You Smarter than a 4th Grader?




 One puzzle, many pieces as we focused on this years theme "One Body, Many Callings"
 4th graders won the upper elementary Red Ribbon poster contest as they each wrote different ways to respect themselves and treat their body right.
