Energy transfer through marbles colliding with Mystery Science’s “Bumper Jumper” activity. We learned to make a “hypothesis” before our experiment and to discuss if it was correct after setting it into motion!🎢

Learning about some Changemakers through research, note taking, paraphrasing, and finally…. a creative little display to take home and teach family members 🎉

Our Engineers are in full swing! 4th grade Francksters use their knowledge of “constraints” and “criteria”, to build and “optimize” a hearing device to enhance their experience during a nature walk 🌳🐿️

An amazing surprise visit. Good luck to my ‘21-‘22 Francksters at RMS! On to new adventures ✨☄️💫🌟 Once a Franckster, always a Franckster, and once a Falcon, always a Falcon! 🤍

An interesting persuasive writing piece proposal written by two of my students during their free write! Maybe I should consider this for the end of the year…. 🤔 @fernbrooknj@mbernal_DrB@KatherineTThorn
Midweek recap: ⭐️🪄⛰️
Exploring weathering in science (+ finding unexpected examples at home), partner work with “2 stars and a wish” in culture essays, and practicing meaningful annotating with non fiction texts as an “active reader”.

Cuteness overload during SEL day while enjoying respectful recess games, “Guess That Franckster”, kindness read alouds and more ✨ @fernbrooknj@mbernal_DrB@KatherineTThorn
My favorite project of the year, our culture projects, are underway!
Students interview another classmate with a different culture from their own to kick off their own research 🧐📝

It’s… fraction time! I tell my students every year that they’ll remember their 4th grade teacher standing on a chair screaming about numerators and denominators for the rest of their lives ➗ @fernbrooknj@mbernal_DrB@KatherineTThorn
