A post from Mrs. Bell: "Mrs. Bell's Fabulous 4th graders took a Fabulous Field Trip to Como Zoo in St. Paul on May 19th. This trip was special for so many reasons: It's Mrs. Bell's last field trip as a teacher, the annual trip to Madeline Island was not available this year, and most of all.... The Fabulous 4th graders were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime (for most of us) luxury accommodations on a Charter Bus complete with an onboard bathroom, air conditioning, WIFI, and reclining seats. (I believe the parent chaperones and teachers loved it as much as the kids!) To NEF we say: 'Thank you so much for making this trip possible.'" Here is a link to the video capturing some of the moments from the trip: https://5il.co/3h9fb.

Last Friday in Chemistry, the students applied their knowledge of acids, balanced chemical equations, and exothermic reactions through the rapid synthesis of water. In other words, they blew up hydrogen balloons!
