Christmas came a little early for 4th Grade today!!
This fall the 4th Grade ELA Class spent some time being authors and illustrators as they worked to publish their very first book, and today they got to bring them home!!
The class chose an overall theme of, Ocean Animals. Then they each chose a specific sea animal as their main character, and wrote an imaginative story about them. These kids spent time brainstorming, writing, rewriting, editing, proofreading, and perfecting their work. They were able to create an illustration to go with it, too; and when completed we shipped it off for publishing.
They were so excited to receive their books today! Hard work pays off and these books are top notch! The kids were able to showcase their interests and challenge themselves with this one, and it proved to be a project they all loved! I'm so proud of them and hope it is a keepsake they cherish forever!
If you know a 4th Grader, ask them to share their book with you! If you don't, swing by the Sully Area Library to view the newest book to hit the shelves!🥰
Race day was a great success in physical science! Congrats to Louie and Jane for being the race champions with a top speed of 2.45 m/s! Tomorrow's test will be to protect the precious egg cargo!
Biology had a successful day in the lab where they completed DNA extraction from a strawberry. Tomorrow we will check it out under the microscope!

ABO Staff took some time to give back on Wednesday as they wrapped Angel Tree gifts for students of the district. The district staff and National Honor Society thank everyone who has contributed to this annual project of giving!
Frosty's hat ran out of magic! Third graders had a blast building snowmen out of baking soda. They then used vinegar the next day to create a chemical reaction and melt their snowman.
3rd/4th/5th Grade ELA Students have wrapped up their 1st Semester with Novel Studies... and all three books were rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
✝️3rd Grade read Barbara Robinson's The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and learned a little something about the meaning of Christmas and treating all with kindness.
🎅🏼4th Grade read Eoin Colfer's Juniper's Christmas, and learned to never give up and fight for what you believe in and those you love most.
🎄5th Grade read J.K. Rowling's The Christmas Pig, and loved the dramatic fantasy. They learned that losing is a part of living, but those we love and lose don't ever really leave us... they are with us in our memories.
Kids love being read to, no matter their age... and what fun it is as the reader to hear their gasps and giggles. My favorite, almost daily, comment was, "One more chapter!! Please!!"❤️
Due to the slick roads and high winds the ABO school district will have a 9:15 start for Thursday, Dec. 19. The Blunt route bus will depart at 8:30. Please allow for additional drive time to school, drive the road conditions, and arrive safely!
