4th Grade News
Life in Room 251
It's been a Great Start to 4th Grade!
Students have been enjoying our first content unit of study: Nature Unleashed. This study is made possible by a grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Students are using their knowledge of the MO ecosystems to design and create an artificial ecosystem. The construction process is almost complete, and we will begin adding living organisms soon! We will observe, collect data and make changes to our biodomes over the next month. Some may even be selected to take part in the MDC science fair this spring! Nature Unleashed will also provide a field trip to the Valley Watermill Watershed so that we can experience all 3 MO ecosystems (the pond, prairie and forest) on guided hikes and explorations. More information will be coming soon!
