Upcoming Events

It is so hard to believe that we are nearing the end of April. That means that we will be very busy here in Room 202.

On April 28th and 29th, fourth grade students will be taking the PSSA Science test. We will be testing on both of those mornings. Please be sure that your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a good breakfast.

On May 7th, the fourth grades will be traveling to Clear Creek State Park. This is a fun-filled learning adventure. Our first activity will be constructing the Allegheny River Watershed on the beach area. Students will work in groups to dig the tributaries and build the towns along the Allegheny River. One of the favorite activities is the stream activity. Students will be wading in the stream searching for "critters." It is amazing to learn about all the different creatures lurking in the stream. Then students will then try to identify what they have found. We will also be hiking the Ox Shoe trail and learning about the timber industry in the early days of Clear Creek. The students are very excited for their trip. Please return your child's permission slip if you haven't already done so.
