Back to School Night and Book Fair
We had a great turn out at the Back to School Night and Book Fair at Martic! Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to attend. It was a pleasure to meet everyone.
Open House Survey for Parents!
Please take this quick survey so I can easily contact you, and get to know your student even better!
The first days of Fourth Grade . . .
One the first STEM challenges we completed this year was to build a spaghetti tower. Students had to build the tallest tower that held a marshmallow for 10 seconds.
Their building constraints were:
1) They only had 20 minutes, 2) They only had 10 strands of spaghetti 3) 3 feet of tape 4) 2 feet of string 5) Scissors and a ruler.
Here are the results!
