I'm sure your kids told you all about how awesome BizTown was and how much they learned. We've spent some time reflecting on our experiences at BizTown and how these learning experiences will help us in the future. We are super grateful for the parent volunteers who did training and helped support our students at BizTown and for all the companies who have donated so much to provide a place like JA BizTown. To learn more about BizTown, ask a current Sunset fourth grader!

We had such a great time at Northwest Trek on our field trip last week. Students were able to see predators and prey in their natural habitats. The purpose of the field trip was to get students thinking about habitats and food chains since that will be our first science unit we start in a couple weeks.

After a quick intro into government, our class went to Olympia, our state's capitol. There we went into the Supreme Court, talked about a real law that was brought before the court and made a decision as a class, similar to the decision the Supreme Court Justices made. We were also able to go into the legislative building and view all sorts of fun things. Here are some pictures from our students.
