Our first two days of 4th grade were a lot of fun!  We spent time getting to know one another and reviewing some room 36 & Crestwood expectations.

Students used a foam math counter and a balloon to better understand a solar eclipse.  Alex squints one eye to see if his counter (moon) will eclipse a blown up balloon (sun).  



William & Noah work together to find out how many steps apart they must be for the counter to completely eclipse the balloon.  



Caroline & Emmanuelle agree that it's possible for a smaller object to eclipse a larger one if there is enough distance in between the two. 



Josiah, Landon, & Maddy work together to reinforce some spaghetti noodles before building their tower. 






Sophia, Violetta, Will, & Alex were a great team, reinforcing their noodles with masking tape. 



Despite being the tallest, the weight of the marshmallow caused Ian, Etan, Alexa, & Emmanuelle's tower to topple over.  They kept their great attitudes! 





Although it ended up being the lowest to the ground, Molly, John, Noah, & Lydia's tower turned out to be the only freestanding one!  Congratulations!
