It was bright and sunny in 204 today! We learned all about circuits and created our own bulb circuits. With the many light bulbs the Scientists in 204 were able to light, it was so bright you would have needed sunglasses! Our circuits were amazing and even cooler with only one wire. Ask you rchild to share the details! We were surprised that one wire worked better than 2! In the afternoon we took our magnet tests on moodle today.

On May 7th, we are taking a quick trip in the morning to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra! It is going to be a lot of fun! Your kids will need to bring a lunch that day as we will miss our lunch hour and they will not be able to buy lunch. The permission slip went home in your child’s mail box last week and they are due by Thursday the 30th!

It was a thrilling Tuesday in room 204! We learned so much about the magnetic force using our magnet box, compass, iron filings and test objects. We learned how magnets interact and also how the Earth has two poles very much like a magnet’s poles. Also, we discovered that a compass needle is a magnet. One end points to the Earth’s magnetic north pole. It was a great day of learning!

We had such a great day today! This morning we worked so hard on Language Arts. At the last minute, the district gave us a language arts assessment to complete so we took care of the first part of that today and will take care of the second part tomorrow. This is not something your child needed to study for. The district uses it for its own purposes.

Chaperones Needed...If you would like to drive on April 23, please contact room parent Suzanne Sarkesian, suzanne@jonsarkesian.com or me at sb07bps@birminhgam.k12.mi.us if you can help from 9:30-11:00 on this day!! Let us know how many students you can fit in your car.


Our class is excited about their upcoming Reading Party with the senior citizens at BASCC, located at the Midvale Center, on Thursday, April 23 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. We will visit BASCC to read our favorite stories and poems to the members and to share refreshments with them.

So far I have Gardner, Hoppen, Sarkesian, Henninger and maybe Dietz as chaperones. Parent drivers, please come to the BCS office at 9:30 on April 23 to complete the necessary driver information. It is also essential that drivers remain with the students during the field trip to assist with name tags, to help pair one or two students with senior citizens and to serve the refreshments.



The third and fourth graders receive a report card at the end of the year that covers the third and fourth quarters.

Welcome back! It was a great day in room 204. It sounds like everyone had such a nice week! Your kids came in with the best stories about their spring break adventures! Today we imagined that we were a worker on Ford's assembly line in the 1920s. In the video you will see that we worked as a group of 7 to assemble cars for 10 minutes. We were much more productive on the assembly line than a team of 7 trying to design and draw a car without designated jobs. Ask your child to share the advantages of the assembly line.
