Red Ribbon Week in Mrs. DeGraff's Fourth Grade Class!
Today, we caught a couple of fifth graders voluntarily taking their lunch with Mr. Harrison so they could continue working on their projects.
Three students were working on a bridge challenge. One student explained, "We get $12,500 fake dollars to build a bridge that holds the most hot wheels cars. We have to use our resources."
Another student continued on a map project she was excited to work on. FMS fifth graders are definitely committed to learning!
