MES Classroom Spotlight💡
Mrs. Sandven's class learned about 🪖🎖️Veterans Day by making a lapbook. We listened to a few short clips explaining the meaning of Veterans day and read "The Wall" by Eve Bunting. We explored the perspective of the book and how the book would change if told by a different character. Throughout the week we compared and contrasted Veterans Day to Memorial Day and learned about the different branches of the military🚁🛩️🪂⚓. The students also made decorations to display in the hallway to celebrate the upcoming Veteran's Day🦅.

This week, Mrs. Haff's class discovered they weren't just making art—they were creating their own customized mittens! A kind community member used the students' unique designs to knit a personalized pair of mittens for every student as a heartwarming surprise.

This week, we are learning all about Greek gods and goddesses, myths, and legends! ⚡️🏛️ Students are having a great time exploring these exciting stories and even enjoy singing a fun song to help remember the gods and goddesses. 🎶 We also read Crankenstein by Samantha Berger and talked about what makes us feel cranky. 😠 After brainstorming our ideas, we used a graphic organizer to plan and write our own paragraphs about being “cranky.” To wrap it up, we added a creative Frankenstein craft to go along with our writing—it was a fun and engaging way to combine reading, writing, and art! 🧠🎨💚

Earlier this week, we were able to send the Girls Tennis Team off to state with colorful posters and cheers!
We are wrapping up our Animal Classification Unit in reading and will soon celebrate with an exciting Escape Room activity! The students have done a great job classifying animals into their correct groups, identifying characteristics, and explaining what makes each group unique.
In math, students participated in review “scoot” activities, moving around the room to solve problems while learning to collaborate with partners. It’s been a week full of hands-on learning, teamwork, and lots of fun!

It was TACKLE CANCER night at the Thunder Hawk football game last Friday. Football players wore jerseys with the name of someone who is currently battling or has battled cancer. The TACKLE CANCER event raised $2,434.11, all benefiting the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund! Thunder Hawk students, Madison and Izzy with the Loco Lizards, donated $295 that they raised by selling handmade keychains and bracelets. Thanks to everyone who donated to this important cause. #TackleCancer #ThunderHawkStrong
Last week was Fire Prevention week so our class was busy making their fire posters! Along with making the posters, we also had some special guests come to our classroom to present the theme and how it pertains to the students and their families. The firefighters did a great job and the students really enjoyed having them in the classroom. We are also learning about the 3 states of matter in science and at the end of the week, we did our first experiment of the school year! We put candy corn in different fluids and observed it's reaction. It was a great way to end our week in Mr. Webb's class!

In Mrs. Lee's fourth grade classroom, we wrapped up our Matter unit in a sweet way - by seeing how all three states of matter can be found in one cup!
We also took time last week to thank and celebrate our amazing custodians at Sanford.
Each morning, we've been tuning in to the "Six Minutes" podcast and following along with the exciting story of a girl named Holiday - the students are hooked! Fourth grade really is FABULOUS!
