A day in the life: Jacqueline Taccetta’s fourth grade

Visit our district Facebook page to take a look at a typical day of learning in Jacqueline Taccetta’s fourth grade here at TOAST. 

On Thursday afternoon, students were hard at work in the world of science, literally lighting up the room as they delved into their focus question: what is needed to light a lightbulb? Working collaboratively throughout, students consulted their textbooks, created a simple circuit using batteries and bulbs, then recorded their findings.
