Myers Elementary
4th Grade students at Myers Elementary took a step back in time this week with their study trip to Pioneerland in La Porte. Students visited a blacksmith’s forge, livestock barn, historic schoolhouse, and pioneer cabin where they learned more about how the earliest adventurers lived on the frontier. The 4th graders even had the opportunity to play with authentic pioneer toys and games, such as wooden stilts, hoop rolling, and ring toss.
Saylor Elementary
Mrs. Sopko's 4th grade students were visited by Brian Surabaya, an engineer for Conagra. Mr. Surabaya came in to talk about assembly lines, and how goods are manufactured. Afterwards, students were given a plan and instructions, on how to make their own assembly line. It was a really fun, hands on experience.
