WHAT A GREAT YEAR! 2018-2019

This year in 4K we made some wonderful friends, learned a lot and created lots of great memories. Here are just a few....

PROJECT ADVENTURE WAS ADVENTUROUS!

Thanks for TESPTO, we were able to go to Project Adventure in Danvers. What a great opportunity for our class to challenge themselves and learn to work as a team. There were many different kinds of activities and games that targeted skills such as listening to each other, cooperating as small groups and as a team, solving problems and sticking with a task.

One task was they had to solve the riddle of the jump rope. If they did it right, the jump rope continued spinning. If they did it wrong, the jump rope stopped. So, they had to keep at it and come up with plans and solutions together.
Here they are trying one of their ideas:

The students also were challenged to raise a pole, make it stand and lift a tire over it. All of this had to be accomplished using ropes and team work!

There was an obstacle course where teams had to get their teammates safely to "home base" without touching the "lava." They found clever ways to work together and accomplish the task.

WOW! WHAT A WAX MUSEUM!

We read biographies. We researched famous, important and influential people and then we became these people. The fourth grade annual Wax Museum was phenomenal. Everyone's script captured the most essential parts of their lives and they all looked the part. Take a peek for yourself

FANTASTIC FIELD TRIP

FANTASTIC FIELD TRIP

4K was able to go to The Tsongas Industrial History Center to learn about the history of immigration to the United States, and in particular, to Lowell. The program in very engaging with scavenger hunts to find artifacts, a tour of the working mill to witness fabric being made, role playing a town meeting in 1890s to debate opening a school for Irish immigrant children and a chance to be historians studying authentic artifacts of items immigrants brought with them from their homeland.
