Mrs. Aho’s 4th Grade Activities
Week of 6/1/2020
Last week of school! We will have our last Zoom this week. For our last Zoom meeting, the children are invited to bring a snack for our “picnic day”. In addition, everyone will have the opportunity to share their summer plans and just catch up with their friends on our final Zoom.
It is unfortunate that we were not able to go on our field trip to Keweenaw National Park. However, I have included some activities all about National Parks for our last week. I hope you enjoy them and learn a little more about our National Parks.
I have also provided a schedule for you. It is not necessary that you follow this schedule, this is just a suggestion; please do what works for your family.

Science/STEM: Marshmallow Constellations

National parks are not like cities in that they do not have millions of lights to block the stars. In a national park, you can look up at night and see millions of stars.
Materials:
- marshmallows
- toothpicks
Instructions:
1. Look at different constellations in the video below.
2. Create the constellations with marshmallows as the stars and the toothpicks to connect.

Acrostic Poems:
Deer and Burrow by Evie and Harper Anderson
Bunnies by Rainey
Bouncy friends that are
Unbelievably cute.
Nibbles on carrots and
Nibbles on fruit.
Incredible hearing,
Ears
so tall
Silky fur that is softer than all.
