A Very Special Visit!

Today we had a very special visit from Pamela Gardner!  She is a meteorologist from WBZ channel 4.  Pamela gave a wonderful presentation to the third and fourth graders.  She discussed her job at WBZ, how she forecasts the weather, the tools meteorologists use, what goes into each newscast, and how many different STEAM jobs are involved in meteorology.  Ask your children about this awesome experience!

Look for these SAS students on Tuesday.  They will be aired on the morning and evening editions!

Field trip

Yesterday the fourth grade went on our field trip to Patriot Place.  We spent the morning in the press box using the engineering design process to create better helmets to prevent concussions.  The students did such a great job...and I was one proud science teacher!

We ate our lunch out on the turf in front of The Hall and then got to go on a tour.  If you have never been to the Hall I highly recommend it!  The students received a pass to go back because they are doing major renovations since the Superbowl win.  The Hall is very interactive.  The fourth graders were able to try on uniforms, kick a field goal, climb on a duckboat and so much more!

The teachers had a blast and hope your children did as well!

Inquiry

Science week is upon us!  Check out these students hard at work on their inquiry projects!  I am so proud of all the work they have been putting forth in science class.  Please come check these fun projects out Wednesday from 1:30-2:15!  Also, don't forget the fourth grade field trip is on Monday!
