The lighthouse project has been part of our electricity and magnetism unit for many years. Students choose a Great Lakes Lighthouse to research and build while learning about electricity and magnetism. They worked on a Profiler Project for our differentiated choices at home and then constructed their lighthouses here at school. They are then tasked with wiring a simple circuit to making their lighthouse come to life. Last Friday we put together our Great Lakes Lighthouse Museum and had some visitors from third grade, and the other fourth grade classes to see what a great job we had done!

Math Tip of the Day + Educreations
Hello everyone, excuse for being a bit brief with this post, but I still have a pin in my finger from surgery two weeks ago, and that makes typing a bit of a challenge. I wanted to invite you to view my profile on Educreations website; you should be able to view all of the lessons for our math units. As the students prepare for the test tomorrow it may be helpful to review some of these lessons a few times. Good luck tomorrow students!
