♻️4th Grade Trash to Treasure Projects ♻️
Last week, in honor of Earth Day, 4th Grade classes worked on their Trash to Treasure Projects. Students recorded themselves explaining how items that may seem to no longer have a use can be re-used to create at "Treasure." The 4th grade teachers were excited about the results and wanted to share our student's AMAZING work!
Check out our OUTSTANDING students in action!

🌎Celebrating Earth Day🌏
On Thursday, many classes were celebrating Earth Day! Ms. Parrish's class celebrated by creating "Solar Ovens" out of old pizza boxes. The class took them out to the court yard to bake some smores. They worked great and the smores were delicious! Enjoy some of the highlights! #FarmerFUN
🎼Ms. Martin's Classes Making Music🎶
Ms. Martin's music classes were making some magical tunes this week. This class played the song "Baby Elephant Walk" with plastic tubes. These weren't just any tubes, though. Each tube plays a specific note whenever they hit. Each student was responsible for playing their own note once it was on the screen. The students did an AMAZING job! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
Play-doh Sight Words and X-rays🦴
Mrs. Fruendt's class had a blast learning last week!
Learning new sight words can be tricky but practicing with play-doh and bee bots makes it easier! Check out their words little and three!
They focused on letter Xx. They practiced it as a beginning and ending sound. But the highlight was looking at x-rays of animals and the human body. They learned that the biggest bone in our body is the femur(leg) and the smallest is in our ear. To finish the week, they made their own X-rays. The X-rays were kid size!😊
Exploring Area with Geoboards!!
Mrs. Riccioni's class love, love, loves the Geoboard App on The Math Learning Center! Today, they used the app to learn about the area of shapes~ They are learning skills and growing in their abilities to incorporate technology into their learning!!
Mrs. Riccioni is so proud of our class and the perseverance they show when they throw in a tech tool and use it in a new way!!! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN

🐹 Mrs. Collins' Class DESK PETS Part 2! 🦔
Here are some more desk pet pictures! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
🐹 Mrs. Collins' Class DESK PETS! 🦔
Mrs. Collins’ class has brought desk pets to Farmington Elementary! Students started a new behavior/work completion incentive to go along with their Dojo points. Students had to read over a “contract,” and fill out “real” adoption papers. Each student got to take home a shelter for their pet and decorate it at home. Friday, students got to adopt a desk pet of their choice! Pets can live with students at their desks, unless dojo points go too low, or work is not completed-then the pets will be taken to the pound. Mrs. Collins is hoping this will both motivate and be something fun for the students to have these last 5 weeks!
🐛Mrs. Fruendt's Class Has Gone Buggy!🦋
This week Mrs. Fruendt's Class has been learning about bugs! So many interesting facts have kept them “crawling “ for more. They built bugs with pattern blocks as they finished the lesson graphing, sorting and counting the blocks they used. They wrote 3 facts in their journals about real bugs and then silly writing about what really “bugs” them with family and friends😊
Enjoy the pics of buggy learning! 🐞
🧩 Life Skills Class celebrated Autism Awareness Month this week. After reading books about treating people with kindness and talking about individual strengths and interests, each student picked one way they would "choose kind." #Enjoy #FarmerFun 🧩
This week Mrs. Unkrich's class learned the words oviparous and viviparous. Animals that lay eggs are oviparous. Animals that do not lay eggs are viviparous. Most reptiles, amphibians, and birds are oviparous, and most mammals are viviparous. They read two books titled Chickens Aren't the Only Ones by Ruth Heller and a non fiction text written by Christie Beriener, What's Hatchin' Chick? Today her students stopped at animal stations around the room and decide which animals to place in the correct category. #Enjoy #FarmerFun
🧵 Graphing in Ms. Parrish's Class is "Sew" Cool! 🧵
Ms. Parrish's class have been working on graphing on the coordinate plane. To demonstrate their knowledge of ordered pairs, students poked holes for the correct coordinates and sewed to create the graph. Their work was impressive to say the least.
