The first Friday of each month is 4-H for all of the 4th grade. This month, the students learned how to make bouncy balls.
On Friday, 1/6, students from the 4th grade learned how sound waves travel through material. They started by making paper cup telephones, and found that they could talk to each other. Next, they tried connecting two phone lines together, and finally four lines, which all worked. They were having so much fun, they didn't want to stop!
This morning, several students took part in the Women in Welding event at Ironwood. Nice work!
With gingerbread houses, sugar cone tree creations, ornaments, ugly sweaters, and more filling the halls here at IAS, we have truly been spreading the holiday spirit! But, we couldn't leave out our staff and students' incredible holiday door decorations...creativity blooms here!
The students in 4th grade made sugar cone Christmas trees. They had to read the recipe and follow the instructions. They also had to do a 10 assessment question based off the recipe.
They sure had fun.
Ironwood staff participated in the traditional holiday Ugly Sweater Contest today.
And the winner is...
