The 5th grade classes celebrated all their hard work this year with a Glow Day. Students answered multiplication facts using highlighters, played Binglow, glow in the dark Jenga, Connect 4, Tic Tac Toe, and Ring Toss. It was fun to wrap up the end of the year making memories with friends!
The 5th graders at Castleton Elementary School completed the autonomous train challenge using the Edison robots in library class. Their train had to stop 5 seconds at the train station, blink both the left and right lights for two seconds and make a beep. This was started with a clap and continued with a continuous loop. Well done!

Today, Guardians of the Galaxy 4th grade scientists and engineers were challenged to brainstorm, design, build, and test a space vehicle that would allow their "space ambassadors" to pass through entrance and exit portals. Mrs. Ray brought in her bunnies for the final test. These four week old "rabinauts" were held, loved, and encouraged to pass in and out of tunnels and doorways so that a message of peace could be spread throughout the galaxy. Design, construction and teamwork were evident in all creations. The challenge ended with all spacecraft united together in an effort to allow for inter-spacecraft goodwill! -submitted by Linda Corliss

Today our 4th grade embarked on their traditional trip to Fort Ticonderoga on the shores of Lake Champlain. Sergeant Stuart retold the history of the fort, demonstrated firing a musket and ran through various orders such as dressing the line, turning direction, and marching to different locations on the grounds . It was a great living history experience.
