In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Rocky Reach Dam


Yesterday was a great day to go to Rocky Reach Dam. We did have a little rain while we were at the discovery stations, outside, but the students still had an amazing time. They got to build dams, count fish, and learn about the optimum temperature fish like to live in. We then went into the dam and learned about saving electricity (we got to see the newest LED light bulbs that cost over $30 a piece but last 50,000 hours) and we toured the museum. It was a great day.

Today we have the BBQ and tomorrow we go to on our field trip to the Wenatchee Valley Museum.
