🪨🔬 Rock Solid Learning in 4th Grade! 💜🐾

Our 4th graders got an up-close look at sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks in science today! Students examined their characteristics, compared textures, and discovered how each type forms.

Hands-on learning helps bring Earth science to life — and these Panthers were rock stars! 🌎✨

🏛️ Future Leaders in Action! 💜🐾

Our 4th graders stepped into the role of legislators as they practiced passing bills in the House of Representatives!

Students debated ideas, shared opinions, followed procedures, and voted just like real lawmakers. Through this hands-on experience, they learned how laws are created and the importance of respectful discussion and civic responsibility.

We’re so proud of the thoughtful conversations and leadership skills our Panthers demonstrated! 👏

🔬👓 Our students became scientists!
They learned how to read like a scientist by analyzing informational texts, identifying and comparing authors’ points of view, and forming their own conclusions. Students backed up their thinking with explicit text evidence—just like real researchers!

To help with their analysis, students even created point-of-view scientific goggles and magnifying glasses, making close reading both fun and meaningful.

🥔📚 Learning Idaho style! Part Two

Great job 4th graders!

🥔📚 Learning Idaho style! Our students have been researching Idaho’s state symbols and had a spud-tacular time disguising potatoes!  Each student decorated a potato, and the class guessed what type it was — russet, red, and more. We even discussed what foods are made from each kind, like McDonald’s fries from russet potatoes 🍟  Hands-on learning makes it stick!
