Scholastic Field Trip

Class 4-408 took a trip to Scholastic headquarters in Manhattan on Friday. Our student teacher Melanie used to work for their Book Club division and her old co-workers showed us how they make books and products for the Book Club catalogue.

We were invited to:

* rate our favorite books in the catalogue.
* test new products that may appear in the catalogue.
* and invent a new product for kids!

Waterloo Village - Pictures and Comments

The entire 4th grade had an amazing trip to Waterloo Village. The buses were cozy, weather was perfect, the guides were knowledgeable, and we learned heaps of information about how the Lenape peoples lived. Every penny that was raised for this trip was worth it. Thanks again to all our families for making this memorable trip possible!
