Math and Science

The 4th graders started a Science unit on "Sound."  The kids have enjoyed many activities that go along with this exciting unit.  Today they experimented with a door fiddle.
In Math, we are continuing in Unit 2 and spent some time this week reviewing place-value.  We played two math games today:  High Number Toss and 7-digit Number Top-It.
