Update From the Students in Room 37

Mr. and Mrs. Fish

Mr. and Mrs. Fish came to our school on Tuesday, September 29th.  Those are not their real names; they made up those names. We learned a lot about the ocean to kick off our ocean study this year.  Mr. and Mrs. Fish showed us the ocean food chain, and they also brought costumes to the assembly to show the food chain. The costumes were worn by volunteers, and Mr. Fish tired to move up the food chain (and he survived).  They also told lots of fishy jokes before they sailed away.  We’re excited to dive into more ocean studies this year.

Mark the Beekeeper

Mark the beekeeper came to our classroom to visit fourth grade students on Friday, October 1st. We learned about different types of bees and what they do.  He showed us honey and we got to taste it.  Some of us enjoyed it, but some of us didn't think it tasted very good.  He brought his whole suit and the bees’ home to the school, but there weren't any bees in it. The smoker smelled like lavender. He passed around the racks the bees keep their honey in, and some had no honey in them while other ones did.  It surprised us that the racks with honey were much heavier than the empty racks because they didn’t look like they would be much heavier.  That’s the buzz about our visit with Mark the beekeeper.
