🧡🖤 4th Grade Challenge Day Fun! 🖤🧡

Friday was a BIG review day for our 4th graders, and they took it to the next level with an exciting, hands-on challenge! 💡📚

Students traveled between Mrs. Kale’s and Mrs. Johnson’s classrooms completing ELA tasks, but this was no ordinary review. Along the way, they encountered roadblocks that kept things fun and engaging! 🚧

Some challenges got them moving with physical activities, while others had them stepping outside their comfort zone for:
✏️ A little office time to play rock-paper-scissors with an adult (manners matter!)
💌 Delivering thank you notes to a special box outside Miss Henry’s office
🦶And a round of hopscotch along the way!

This creative approach had students thinking, moving, and collaborating, all while reviewing important skills. Way to go, 4th grade! 👏🐾
