With all the last minute changes for school,the last days are hectic. We have no time to waste. Ms.Styes has a lot planned-like Jimmy's lessons,field trips and last minute projects like our Native American projects.


Our last school days  are sad because Max,our class pet,will not be seen because school is ending. He must be happy though because we gave him a lot of treats. 

We've done the Juicy Juice taste testing data . We will miss Ms.Styes and her funny and crazy ideas. On to happy things. We have a field trip to the space museum and to the park to eat and play.  We've had great times together. It's very sad to say goodbye after everything we've done.I guess that's all I have to say.

RCEC Math Contest and Valentine's Day

By:  Jimmy, Lacie and Colton

Some students in our room tried out for the RCEC math contest.  Kids who tried out had to take a really long, difficult math test.  A lot of kids took the qualifying test, but only a few were selected to participate in the contest.  Two people from our classroom were selected to help represent our 4th grade.  Jaden and Jimmy both qualified.  Everyone was really excited for them!  They studied hard and finally, they went to the contest.  It was on a Saturday.  When they got there, Jimmy and Jaden were ready to show everyone how much they know about math.  They both did great at the contest and we were proud to have them represent us and our school.

We had our Valentine's Day party on February 14th.  It was so much fun!  We made a root beer float or a strawberry float.  Yumm!!!  We also played a game where we each had a broken heart and we had to go around the room and find the other part of the heart.  Then we played Bingo and we opened our valentine bags.  It was awesome!
