Our Open House Scavenger Hunt

At 4-Corners, we love to empower our students and instill leadership. We know that the best way to learn something is to teach it. For our Open House this coming Tuesday evening, parents will be going on a scavenger hunt! They will be given a passport and will travel to the classrooms at 4-Corners. As they journey through Mrs. Lopez and Miss Launey's English Language Arts classes and Mrs. Phillips and Mr. Pinchot's Math, Science, and Social Studies room, they will go on a scavenger hunt and locate designated artifacts that are located around the room. Two classroom students will be posted at each artifact to teach the parents about the learning that that particular artifact depicts. The parents will be required to answer a written question on their passport about that artifact, and then get a passport stamp by the students in charge of that artifact. The parents continue to peruse the classroom, looking for artifacts that are listed on their passport, and answer the written questions. Students are in charge of the evening and are the only ones who can answer the parents' questions. Our learners are the experts! At the end of the Open House, the parents will have learned every artifact in their child's classrooms. They will leave with their completed passport full of stamps and will take home this momento that proves that they toured and learned about their child's 4th grade world. Stay tuned for the highlights of this grand event!
Mrs. Lopez, Miss Launey, Mrs. Phillips, and Mr. Pinchot
