Principal's Message December 16, 2016
|
|
Great News! All fourth and fifth grade classrooms at Four Peaks Elementary School will receive a cart with Chromebooks for all students. This one to one technology is going to allow our students to be on the cutting edge of technology in the classroom. Teachers will instruct students through various on-line programs which include Think Central, Code.org, and Google Classroom. The students will learn to access curriculum on-line, use Google Classroom to submit work and interact with classmates on shared documents, research topics that are being studied, and begin to learn the basics of coding and computer sciences.
The teachers will be able to enhance lessons with virtual field trips and interactive content, share documents with students and colleagues, and give students immediate feedback with the Google Classroom interface. The possibilities are unlimited and these programs are just a few of the many great things that the one to one technology will offer our students and teachers. The teachers are excited about the roll out that is scheduled to happen the beginning of February.
Enjoy your winter break and we'll see the students back on Tuesday, January 3, 2017!

6th Grade Science Projects
For several weeks the sixth graders have been hard at work on their scientist projects. The science project had three components: research, model creation, and presentation. The question students had to answer was: "How would the world be different without the accomplishments of your scientist?" Ms. Price was very proud of the students' efforts and of the knowledge they displayed about the scientists they studied.

Bagels for Bravery
This week the Four Peaks Falcon Leaders hosted an open house breakfast to say "Thank You" to the veterans in their families and in our community.
The students thoroughly enjoyed sitting with the veterans and listening to the stories they shared about their time serving our country. It was a wonderful experience for all the participants!
