After studying how landforms change and how movement shapes Earth’s surface, fourth grade students applied their learning to explore topographic maps. Using play-doh, they created different elevation levels to see how these changes are represented on maps!

Motivation Monday!
“You don’t have to be perfect to be amazing.”
Mistakes don’t define you. Effort does. You’re going to stumble sometimes-that’s okay. What matters is that you get back up and keep trying. Bears, show up and be your best, not perfect.

The first graders have been studying animals and practicing research. They were able to choose which animal they wanted to research and then wrote facts about their animal. Then they used their facts to write a book. They really enjoyed this project and loved making their own book!
