We went to Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical. In the morning, we boarded the buses. Then we got there and it started. It was about one hour. I loved it. It was so much action, I LOVED it.

Mass is the matter inside stuff. You can use a scale to measure. For example, use a watermelon. Put it on one side, you should use kg because grams are too light. Then put kg weights on the other side until it is even.
~Ethan
This week, I found interesting the new project we are doing in art. A few kid who finished their last project, got to start to make the new project, which was optical illusions.

This week I learned about right angles. A right angle can be on any shape. A right angle is also the perfect corner of a piece of paper.
~ Luisa
I could teach someone else what power is. Power is control over your actions, thoughts, and feelings. For example, if someone asks you to talk to them, if you do it, you had the power to do it. If not, you didn't.

2024 Eclipse
On Monday, April 8th, the third graders listened to school librarian, Ms. Koplin, share a Ojibwe folktale about the eclipse. Students then watched a video that taught the science behind a solar eclipse. Then, at 2:08, students donned their special eclipse glasses and laid on the playground, enjoying the eclipse.
