KINDNESS COUNTS

The students of 4K wanted to spread kindness throughout Proctor School.  Together they made a banner with large letters spelling KIND and they wrote on it ways they would be kind. Then, they posted it in the hallway and asked all students in the school to join them in committing to kindness. They put up a sign that asked, "What will you do to be.... KIND?"

VIVID VOLCANOES!

As part of our study of Earth's changing surface, we learned about how volcanoes cause  changes to the lithosphere. We all colored a picture of a volcano. Then, using an app on the i-pads, called Quiver, we were able to experience a volcano eruption!

Watch this video for a sample of what your child experienced!

EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE!

In 4K, we will learn and practice resilience all year. We need to develop our ability to stick with a problem and with challenges. The goal is to persevere!

These pictures show us working on the challenge given.
Students were asked to make this structure with a pair of scissor and an large index card.

Everyone showed great "stick-to-it-tive-ness!"

OOH, IT'S OOBLECK

We focused on the scientific process and the need to be precise when conducting experiment. At CLIC we made Oobleck. This is a non-Newtonian liquid that acts as a liquid and a solid. Click on the link to see the recipe.
