Spaghetti Towers

At Diamond Ridge Elementary we love STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities. This is one we tried as teachers at faculty meeting and LOVED! Building the tallest tower possible with spaghetti noodles and tape may sound easy, but just ask your student, it's not as easy as it looks! Try it at home as a family activity! Our students did wonderfully, although unfortunately, most of them couldn't withstand the weight of their marshmallow toppers.

Saving Fred

Once upon a time poor little Fred the worm was sailing on his boat. He was not wearing his life jacket so when his boat capsized he was in danger! Our students helped Fred get back on top of his boat and into his life jacket. Without using their hands! They did a great job working together, problem solving and learning about the Scientific Method.

Welcome

Welcome to 4th grade. On this blog I will post class information and updates, resources and pictures of our adventures together. I can't wait to get started and get to know you and your child!
