Fourth graders in Ms. Schwickerath's science classes explored how different bird beaks are specially designed to help birds eat various types of food. After learning about these adaptations, students participated in a hands-on activity where they tested different “beaks” to see which ones were most effective for picking up certain foods. This engaging experience helped them better understand how form relates to function in the natural world.

Fourth graders had a busy and exciting day at Twin Ponds! During one of the rotations, they went on a hike where they searched for animal tracks and observed creatures in their natural environment. Students also identified producers and consumers, as well as classified animals as carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores. In addition, they explored the new displays in the Nature Center and had fun playing the interactive game “Oh, Deer!”

4th Grade worked on their PBL during ISASP week titled Dream it, Draw it, Create it, Persuade it. They had so much fun seeing how much things would cost and what they would want in their dream bedroom. They also had to write a letter to their parents persuading them to purchase them a new bedroom. Watch the slideshow below!

Our 3-year-old preschool classes enjoyed hatching chicks in our classrooms. The students learned a lesson in waiting as they had to wait 21 days for the eggs in the incubator to hatch. They were so excited when the eggs finally hatched and each child had the chance to pet a baby chick. What an egg-citing time to be in preschool!

April was National Financial Literacy Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of smart money management, including budgeting, saving, and responsible spending to help individuals make sound financial decisions. Last week, the fourth graders had the opportunity to learn more about financial literacy from Dustin Lewis of Security State Bank. He shared valuable insights about money management and discussed the various aspects of his work in banking. Thank you, Dustin, for taking the time to visit with the fourth graders and for helping them build important life skills!

The baby chicks hatched last week, and the fourth-graders were thrilled to hold and gently pet them. It was an exciting, hands-on experience that sparked lots of curiosity and excitement in their classroom! This experience also connected perfectly to our learning as the fourth grade class has been studying the structures and adaptations of living things. Observing the chicks up close helped students better understand how physical features support survival and growth.

Fourth graders visited the Landfill of North Iowa and learned about the importance of the 3 Rs—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Students were reminded how important it is to practice the 3 Rs to keep as much waste out of the landfill as possible. They were especially surprised to learn that batteries the fourth graders think are “dead” can still hold energy and potentially cause fires if not disposed of properly.
A big thank you to Christa for the informative tour and for teaching them how they can all help maintain a healthy environment!
