VERY VIVID VALENTINES

Take a look at 4K's creativity! They were challenged to create a box for their Valentines and look what they did!

BEAUTIFUL BEAVER ADAPTATIONS

4K went to CLIC for a lesson on the many behavioral and structural adaptations (click for video fo these building geniuses at work) of the beaver.Brooke was a brave volunteer to model the adaptations.

PENPAL NEWS

4K has been connecting wtih 4K in Middleton all year. We have exchanged letters and notes thanks to our "inter-school postal carrier," Mrs. Klipfel. This has helped us with our writing and communication skills. Our latest connection was sending a flipgrid message to our penpals. Here we are watching their responses.

SUPER SCIENCE

We are investigating plant an animal adaptations in many ways during this unit of study. We started with phototropism and transpiration, two plant adaptations.
First we potted our plants, watered them, measured their height and weighed them.
The next day (pictured here) we weigh and measured them again.
Students saw first hand that the weight went down due to transpiration, the loss of water through the stomata on the back side of leaves.

Stay tuned for phototropism experiments.

COOL TO BE KIND

We celebrated kindness week at Proctor! 4K always strives to be kind, but this week we stepped it up a notch. There were more compliments, more reaching out, more including others, more patience and tolerance. It was lovely and we will work to keep this spirit going.

Here we are celebrating kindness week with PJ Day!

As they requested #partypoopers! PJs don't make you kind, your actions do.
