Fourth Grade at LRS

To prepare for the upcoming Olympics, the fourth grade learned about the different sporting events.  Here is their work.

In this movie students share their dreams.

In October 2009 our class sent symbolic monarch butterflies to Mexico.  These paper butterflies mirror the migration of monarch butterflies.  We just received an update on our butterflies and where they are located for the winter. Click on this link to find out more about the school hosting our symbolic butterflies.

I know this is a little late, but here is our video on the monster project. Thank you for selecting our monster’s name as the best in the class of 2009 monsters. Enjoy

Here is our first “Voice Thread” which explains our school, Lafayette Regional School.

Last week Nantz Comyns came to visit our school and worked with our students building three sculptures and some funky chickens.  The students used birch sticks and chicken wire to build the animals.  The teachers  built funky chickens one afternoon to join in on the fun.  It was a blast.

On Friday,  the students displayed their new fourth grade monster “Wee Nit Wit”.  The 3-d monster stands 9 feet tall and enjoyed a parade down Main Street on Friday.  More photos and movies will follow.  To visit all the fabulous monsters in this project go to http://smithclass.org/proj/Monsters/2009/pix09/monpix09.htm

Here is a sneak peek at the Fourth Grade monster this year. The students will cover the whole monster in paper mache on Friday which should be a blast.

The fourth grade students this year participated in the O.R.E.O Project.  Here is a video about the project.
