Science Homework Assignment:
We are creating a "junk" cell to represent either a plant or animal cell. Your assignment is to make a three dimensional model of a plant or animal cell by gluing household items, such as pasta, foam peanuts, and yarn, to a piece of poster board. Choose either a plant or animal cell. Be sure to include all the parts of the cell and label them. Also remember to title your project either Plant Cell or Animal Cell.
This assignment is due on Tuesday, September 6th.

Fourth Graders are learning how to use microscopes!
We had a wonderful time looking at plant and animal cells through microscopes.
We examined an onion cell, cheek cell, hair follicle, and a blood sample. 
The students enjoyed themselves and learned a lot of information. 
I would like to give a special thanks to "Grammy" for helping assist with this project. 
I would also like to say thank you to my "camera lady" Mrs. Fran!
R.L. Young is a good place to learn and grow.

Fourth Graders are fabulous.  They are ready to learn. We have established our routine and we are following it nicely.   Just a reminder, we will have math homework everyday except Wednesday's and Friday's.  Make sure you check your child's planner everyday.  Thanks to all the parents and students for making our first week wonderful.
