Mrs. Lockman's 4th grade pirates began their Peter Pan novel study with Chapter 1 and explored one of the story’s biggest ideas: growing up is something we all have to do, but we get to choose what memories, lessons, and pieces of ourselves we carry with us.
To bring that idea to life, students completed a STEM Time Capsule Challenge! They had to think critically about what items would best represent who they are as 4th graders, design and prepare their time capsule, and decide what was meaningful enough to preserve for the future.
Then came the best part… we buried it!
Next year, when these students return as 5th graders, we’ll dig it back up and see just how much they have grown and changed in one year.
Peter Pan may never want to grow up, but our 4th graders are learning that growing up can be its own pretty amazing adventure.

As our students head back to class tomorrow morning for the first day of the new school year, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.
Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:
🚶♂️ WALK SAFE!
Heads Up, Phone Down! Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks.
Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing.
Be seen!
🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters)
Helmet On: Wear a helmet—it’s the LAW for riders under 16!
Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic lights.
Ride with traffic, stay off your phone, and yield to walkers on the sidewalk.
E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!
🚌 BUS SAFE!
Wait in a safe place well away from the road.
Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal.
Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.
Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop!
🚗 DRIVE SAFE!
Slow down, especially in school zones.
Expect the unexpected—look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk.
Give bicyclists at least 3 feet of clearance.
Put the phone away, no texting, and focus on the road.
Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!
Be Seen. Be Smart. Be Safe.
We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📚✨
