Inter-Lakes School District

Fourth grade scientists have been hard at work developing and improving their science skills and understanding of science concepts in life, earth and physical science. Students have learned how to use the Scientific Method to answer questions and solve problems in our world. Many of our young scientists are enthusiastic about what they have learned and are conducting their own investigations into science areas of interest. Students are presently botanists, investigating New Hampshire’s seed plants.

Last week, students in grades K-6 attended presentations by our author/illustrator, Maryann Cocca-Leffler. She spoke about how ideas turn into stories and the process of how books get published. Maryann shared how two of her stories were put together to create a musical play. Most students got to see her draw and she answered lots of great questions that were generated by students.

A very special guest teacher visited the co-teach classroom on Wed., May 1st. Miss Jillian Bishop from Bank of New Hampshire came to present the first of five Junior Achievement lessons to the third grade students. The focus of these lessons is about a “City”. Students learn about zoning, how to set up a business and manage money. Next week, students will build a three dimensional city.
