On Thursday, May 17, 2018, fourth graders went on a field trip to the Connecticut Science Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Students experienced a full day of hands-on science. They had access to over 165 interactive exhibits in ten galleries. There was a special traveling exhibit and live science demonstrations that could be attended. 

Students were assigned to a small group and volunteer chaperone. Together, they explore the Science Center by creating, trying, and doing at each exhibit. Students learned about bionics, aerodynamics, engineering, electricity, weather, outer space, sight and sound, rivers, and much more.

 

 

A May newsletter went home with fourth graders today. Because there was not a section about math on it, I included one in the newsletter below. Please notice the upcoming events. The date for the invention fair has been announced and there will be a writing celebration this spring. I hope you and your family will be able to join us for both. We also have the field trip to the Connecticut Science Center next week.
