On Wednesday, fourth grade had a "Spooktacular Shine" glow day! Pencils were swapped for highlighters, fluorescent colors were everywhere, and the classroom was buzzing. The students put their morphology skills to the test playing "tic-tac-glow" and tackled glowing reading and language arts activities.
Today was all about agriculture. We started the day learning how pumpkins grow and are harvested, traveled to OHS for Ag Day led by the amazing FFA members, and wrapped up the day as engineers- building and testing mini pumpkin catapults. Pumpkins were flying everywhere and memories were created.
