The students worked on an Earth Day concrete poetry project. A concrete poem uses words or symbols to form an image that reflects the topic of the poem. For this project, students were asked to write a descriptive free verse poem about the Earth. Students went through a process of creating a rough draft, then completing a final copy of writing their poem within or around a picture of the Earth. 

The Grade 4 students were so excited to head over to Riverview Middle School! We were greeted by a few staff members and a group of leadership students. Then we enjoyed some delicious pancakes before spitting up into groups and heading around the school for a tour.  

In this group project, students were asked to design and build a toy or device that demonstrates gravity or magnetism. Their design should show how one of these forces works, whether it’s gravity making things fall or magnets attracting and repelling. Their goal was to create a fun, functional project that highlights the science behind these forces. The students will present their designs to the class this upcoming week.
