Down on the Farm Community Night at Wenonah

Welcome to Wenonah's Farm Night

This year's theme had everyone thinking about where our food comes from and what the future holds for all of us. Will farming practices change? The students worked hard to create a news article through Google Classroom using Google Docs. They became tech savvy and very aware of GMO's, organic farming, fish farming and industrial farming- to name just a few of the exciting topics.

Did you know that bugs are a sustainable food source and are more economically and environmentally friendly? Over 80% of the world already eats bugs! Would you?

Even the superintendent, Mr. Nolan, enjoyed the evening.

All Charged Up!

Using only a copper wire and a battery, the students were able to light up their lightbulbs proving 4-2 may have some future electricians in their midst! 

Journeys Program in MPR

The fourth-grade students had the opportunity to learn about the Five Nations of the Iroquois from a visiting historian and a "real life" Indian. They chanted some words and were told a story about the importance of the Peacemaker in Indian culture. This was a perfect review before their chapter test!

November Field Trip Highlights

From candle-making to sign-making...

from writing with a goose feather and ink to drying it off with sand...

to making a pinched clay candle holder and a silhouette,

 the students had a ton of fun while learning about life in Colonial times. 

Look who is kicking it "old school" just like Greg.

 

Was life  better in the old days?
That’s the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences,

and Greg isn’t cut out for an old-fashioned world.
With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home,

will Greg find a way to survive? Or is going “old school” just too hard for a kid like Greg?

By reading this novel and being off electronics,

 these students and many others in 4-2

are kicking it old school just like the main character

 in the latest release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 

Change Your Mindset

Developing small but positive changes in your attitude

and thinking can have a massive impact on your success.

Put simply, if you can get your thinking right,

 the benefits will naturally follow.
