Students had a fabulous time at the Leopard Pride Assembly.  Our 4th grade team put together a competition to build a snowman between each grade level.  The participants had to wrap a student in tissue paper, add the buttons and nose, then top it off with the hat and scarf.  It was a race to finish first with lots of cheering and laughs.  We sure built some cute snowmen.

In 5th grade, we spent a couple of weeks learning about matter. We focused a good portion of time on the chemical and physical changes that happen all around us; for example, popping popcorn (physical change) and using gasoline in a car (chemical change). The other day, we decided to create our own physical change--making ice cream! Everyone took their bags of milk, sugar, vanilla, and icy salt to make the delicious treat. We had a grand ol' time tossing, and then eating our very own "school-made" ice cream!
