Ms. Sedano's 4th grade class has been doing many fun activities.  One of their favorite activities is being buddies with Mrs. Taylor's 1st grade class.  Last week they used poppets to help the first graders sound out words.  Did you know that you could make a homemade kazoo?  That's something else this 4th grade class did.  Ms.Sedano says that her class loved to see a battery power a lightbulb.  The class also saw a video about how a popcorn machine makes popcorn!

Mrs. Topham's fifth grade class did an experiment with water representing the effects of flash floods on buildings and structures. This is a picture of the class with their houses representing structures.  Then they poured water to see if their structures would hold against a flash flood.  They are all learning about weathering and erosion.
