DARING TO DREAM BIG!!

4K wanted to do something special to showcase our understanding of the school's theme of Dream Big. We wrote a skit that showed how many important people in history dared to dream big and improved the world! The class also worked together on creating props for their skit at CLIC. This project allowed us to collaborate, be creative, problem solve and, of course, DREAM BIG!

Thanks to a parent who recorded this event we have some videos to remember this special 4K memory. The sound is a bit low so turn up the volume.

TOTALLY TOPOGRAPHICAL!


Studying landforms and the ever-changing Earth's surface, led us to  wonder how cartographers show different elevations on maps. We looked at relief maps and topographic maps. Then, we constructed our own landform designs and created topographic maps with contour lines. We created the contour lines by slicing the clay landforms with some dental floss in 1 centimeter segments and then tracing them on the graph paper. Most exciting of all, was having the class try to identify which map corresponded with which landform. WE DID IT!!
