Tales Of A 4-5 Something

Did you know that we had a Halloween Fun House way back in October? Every year around Halloween, our school has a Halloween Fun House. Mr. Nelson and Lauren work hard to make the day fun and there are a couple different stations. At one station there is a bucket that you bounce ping pong balls that look like eyeballs into. You can shoot basketballs into a hoop covered in spider webs. There is also a tunnel that is accessed by scooters that you slide through at the speed of light and there are cool lights inside the tunnel. There are hoppies that you bounce around a track with and this year there was a creepy skeleton at the end that would sneak up on you. It's one of the funnest events of the year! We're all having the time of our lives in 4-5.  Cooper and Esther

In 4-5 we have worked hard every Wednesday preparing for the winter concert 🎵. We meet in the Chorus Room in the Arts Building. We were supposed to sing in December but a lot of people were sick so we have a new day. Come see it on January 4th! In our performance, we are singing songs like The Mountains Are Calling Me, a song written by Tom Shelton. We also are singing our Mountain Mini Medley consisting of songs like The Climb by Miley Cyrus and other songs that we must keep secret. It is cool to do a medley because that is usually for the Middle School but because it is Waynflete's 125th birthday we are adding a special twist to our concert.  Happy holidays!!!!

Our 4-5 community took a field trip to Tortilleria Pachanga . We went to learn about how tortillas are made. The corn comes from Maine and when the crop is bad it comes from other states like Illinois. When the corn gets to her store, Lynne soaks the corn, then she grinds it, and then they form it into dough balls. There is a wooden thing called a press that flattens the dough into the round tortillas. When there is a bunch, the tortillas are put in a machine that will heat them and then they are bagged. We got to make the doug balls, press them and put them into a pan to cook it. The tortillas were AMAZING with a bit of cheese and salsa. If you have the opportunity, I would say find them in a store! The tortillerias are a 10/10. Come back to the blog for more awesomeness. Thank you for being amazing and supporting our 4-5 blog. Teagan and Anna  

Our school year has something called a trimester. Every so often our classes change. Sometimes we have movement, Spanish, and music but other times we have art, math in the mornings, and so much more. This change takes a bit of getting used to, but it also gives the students a chance to learn more. We just started art, but we sadly no longer have movement. Everyone looks forward to a new class that they haven’t had yet. 4-5 also just got into the rhythm of clubs! We have a variety from supernatural club, to tabletop games club. We also have art clubs. All these clubs were made by students. Every club meets once a week, for three weeks, then like our trimesters our clubs change with new activities and projects. Every kid wants their club to be accepted to get into the rotations. If the teachers feel that this club would not be as good fit or there are so many it gets postponed. Right now we are in our second trimester for classes and clubs, but clubs rotate much more than our classes i...
