Students connect Charlotte’s Web and Wilbur’s inability to spin a spider web with Newton’s laws of motion through a variety of experiments and engaging hands-on activities.

The Nose
After completing a biography of Walt Disney, students have their caricature drawn by a professional artist and observe the techniques used in this type of cartooning, thus bringing to life Walt Disney’s cartooning career.

Fourth Grade

Overnight trip to Driftwood Educational Center
This is an environmental, educational overnight field trip that is focused on empowering students to develop appreciation and responsibility for our natural environment.
