We know our geometric figures! We had a blast reviewing with a partner game. Then, we upped the ante with a “Guess Who” style game where we guessed clues about polygons. #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Readers read EVERYWHERE! On a nice day, why not enjoy the sun along with the story that you are jumping in to? #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

What’s collecting data without a Little Rock, paper, scissors fun? We can collect, graph, and analyze data in bar graphs and pictographs! #rmD8isgr8 #SangsterSOAR

Check out these mathematicians comparing data across graphs! Which sport is the favorite among the 4th grade classes? #rmD8isgr8 #SangsterSOAR

Before Z-Nation created its classroom rules, we brainstormed what rules are for and how they differ in different parts of the school. Rules keep us safe and make sure we feel comfortable and respected. #rmD8isgr8 #SangsterSOAR

Let’s go on a scavenger hunt to find out who makes up Z-Nation! Can you believe we couldn’t find any lefties in Z-Nation? #rmd8isgr8 #SangsterSOAR

We had a great time with our first science lab, exploring VA’s mineral resources! Can you describe its luster, color, and shape? How do we use these mineral resources? #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Our very first house challenge saw the table groups overcoming failure, communicating positively, and collaborating to accomplish their goal as a team. Who can make the longest paper chain? Awesome kiddos! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Our second house challenge was so tricky! Communication was key in dealing with high frustration and anxiety in this race against the clock. I was so impressed by the kiddos’ ability to overcome disappointment! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

We did it! We saved the school from a zombie takeover! We had to use our rounding, addition, subtraction, ordering, and word problem skills to crack the code and find the way out of this spooky escape room. #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Thank you to all of our amazing veterans! We had a great time learning from our three veteran speakers, including Col. Benetti! We got a taste of gourmet army eating with a cold MRE. #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

What could be better than getting in your Thursday PT? Thank you veterans! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Cold MRE? I guess I’ll give it a try. You should have seen some of the faces the kiddos made as they stared at what was on their spoon. #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Well that was a crazy hair day! I was blown away by the imagination and creativity today! So cool! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

We had an awesome West African drum assembly yesterday! Even better, so many members of Z-Nation got to jump in the drum and dance circle. #D8isgr8 #SangsterSOAR

We had such a treat this past week, when a surprise visitor came to teach us about Eid! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

We got to play like the native Virginians did and work on honing our hunting skills at the same time. Do you think we would be able to bring home supper? #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Playing the games that native Virginians did! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

The “three sisters” are corn, beans, and squash. Today we got to see how they grow together and even grind some of the corn into flour. #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8

Wow! What a treat! Today we had a special author visit from the one and only Stacey Abrams! She took some Sangster questions and even donated copies of her first two children’s books! #SangsterSOAR #rmD8isgr8
