4th Graders Explore Energy!
In our exciting science adventure, 4th graders dove into the world of energy! They became energy explorers, experimenting with kinetic and potential energy to create amazing chain reactions.
As they set up their experiments, they watched energy jump from one thing to another, just like magic! They had to think like engineers, designing their setups to see how energy could flow and change.
With each experiment, they discovered how fun and fascinating energy can be.

☀️ Warm thoughts during the blizzard.
As we cozy up during this blizzard, let's remember the fun we had at recess! 🌨️✨
It is a great day to read a book, play a board game, or build a blanket fort! ⛺️
