🌍 Where in the World is Mrs. Lockman’s Class? 🌍
This year, Mrs. Lockman’s class is embarking on an ambitious academic journey—Around the World in 38 Days—integrating geography, literacy, coding, and critical thinking skills. Each week, we’ll “travel” to a new location, applying cross-curricular learning to deepen our understanding of the world.
To launch our adventure, students:
📚 Analyzed the definition and characteristics of continents versus countries and discussed their significance in global studies.
🗺️ Applied strategic thinking to design a travel route that reached all seven continents, considering efficiency and geography.
🤖 Programmed a Bee-Bot to navigate a large-scale world map, reinforcing spatial reasoning and sequencing skills.
📖 Engaged in a close reading preview of our novel study, A Wrinkle in Time, making connections between literature and our global exploration theme.
Our first “stop” set the foundation for a year of inquiry, problem-solving, and global awareness. We look forward to sharing each week’s destination and the learning it inspires!

Mrs. Yost's class ended the year with a fun Bubble Science experiment! 🫧 They observed how bubbles formed using a variety of solutions and had a blast testing which ones worked best. A bubbly way to wrap up a great year of learning! 🧪🎉






Our 4th graders had a blast celebrating their hard work on the ELA FAST! Those who scored a 4 or 5 got the sweet reward of being able to pie their teacher in the face! 🥧😄 Way to go, you earned it!






Mrs. Alvarez, Miss Bonham, and Mrs. Cunningham were celebrating several of their students this year and are so proud of their hard work.



This just in—Mrs. Lockman’s detectives cracked the case of the missing pencil! Using their computational thinking skills, they followed the clues, solved the puzzles, and caught the culprit.
Warning to all cat meow-guests: these Rams are paws-itively great at solving crimes!
