Keegan and Myles were announcers at the Assembly.
Some students made posters to hang around Chamberlin School to remind kids about recycling appropriately. These students performed a skit showing where to put recyclable items, reminding kids that those items need to be clean, and showed what needs to be thrown away.
We went to the retention pond on Kennedy Drive. The workers there explained the process of building the pond to help control stormwater runoff.
This pond actually has two ponds separated by a dam (on the right of this picture). After a big rain, if the first pond fills up, it overflows into the second pond (on the left). This overflow area already has grass growing in it. You might ask your child why there is grass planted here.
At the top of Mt. Philo, students did watercolors of the changing view (the fog was lifting), and enjoyed their beautiful surroundings.
This was one tired fourth grader on the bus ride home!
This group of students held up this erratic boulder on the way up! Students learned how the glacier left behind huge boulders when it melted. The boulders are called "erratics". You might notice some in farm fields in the area.
We had some rain for our field trip, but it didn't stop your children!
