Clear Creek Field Trip

One of the favorite parts of the field trip was the stream activity. The students explored the stream and caught "critters." Some of our finds included a dobsonfly nymph, a stonefly nymph, a mayfly nymph, a salamander, and many water striders. The water was freezing cold, but it was lots of fun. Pictured here are Nately and Ashlyn.

Pennsylvania Trivia Contest

Fourth graders are busy learning their PA trivia. Each student has a big list of trivia questions to be studying. We will be having our classroom competition on May 14th. At our classroom competition, we will narrow it down to the top 10 in Room 202. The top 10 from each 4th grade class will compete in the competition on May 27th. Study those trivia questions!!!

Clear Creek Field Trip

On Tuesday, May 13th, the fourth grade will be taking a field trip to Clear Creek State Park. If your child has not already returned their permission slip, please be sure that they do. At Clear Creek, the students will be digging the Allegheny River watershed in the beach area. They will also learn about the logging industry in the 1800's. Please be sure your child dresses for the weather. We will be hiking, so be sure your child is wearing tennis shoes and long pants. They should also take an extra pair of pants and shoes because we will be wading in the creek to find the litter critters that live there.
