4th Graders are Bucket Fillers!



In our Fourth Grade Classroom we've talked quite a bit this week about how to be Bucket Fillers.  Bucket Fillers take the time to be kind and to speak gently.  Bucket Fillers are considerate of the people around them and they make a point of treating other people the way the way they want to be treated.  We're proud of the Bucket Fillers in our classroom.  Keep up the good work!  We love Bucket Fillers and we try NOT to be Bucket Dippers!

4th Graders Map Pennsylvania



 As these 4th Grade students map Pennsylvania they must follow directions, find major cities of PA and major rivers.  They must also identify the 5 land regions of PA.  Most importantly, these students must figure out how to work together as a team.  It's NOT always sooo easy!

4th Graders learn about the Vegetable Food Group

Did you know that kids that are about 9 to 10 years old should eat about 2 1/2 cups of vegetables every day?

4th Grade friends sample the salad as Ms. Twine puts on dressing.

Ethan is the waiter passing out salad.  It's time to dig in!

Salad makes us happy!  Especially this salad made with lettuce, grape tomatoes and green peas! 
YUMMY!
