Mrs. Galambos' Class Inventors

The students in room 115 are real entrepreneurs! They each invented a new product and then created advertisements to try to sell their product to the public. Some students made a print ad, some performed commercials for the class, while others videotaped their commercials and played them for us. Some inventions made life easier for others. For example, Mason created The Sleep Suit, a blanket and pillow combination you could take anywhere you wanted to be comfortable. Molly's idea could make life easier for every Miller South student. She created Ident-a-Lock - a lock for your locker that opened with your finger print. Cool idea and one that most likely will happen sometime in the near future! Mary Owens invented a hair dye that changed with your moods - like a mood ring for your hair. :) Enjoy a sample of some of the wonderful work these talented fourth graders created. Be sure to watch Kevin's Endless Potato Chips. He has a future on the infomercial circuit!

Wick Poetry Program

The students in Mrs. G.'s class are going to be working with the Wick Poetry Center from Kent State University again this year. We will be writing poetry and sharing our writing each week. The theme for the year is PEACE. This fits great with our Miller South theme of Make the World a Better Place. Last week we wrote poems about "In My America". Watch our video to see some of the favorite lines written by the fourth graders.

Hiking Spree #1

Mrs. G.'s class have started this year's Metro Parks hiking spree. The whole class hiked the Red Wing Trail at Firestone Park on Wednesday. We were joined by 8 of our parents who served as drivers or hikers. The students completed a visual scavenger hunt created by Mrs. G. They were awesome observers! Enjoy the news cast created by Grace Thanasiu and Essence Cain. Tune in next week for our next hiking adventure!

I am officially on the blog spot for Miller South. Learning never ends here! Look for updates in the near future from exciting Room 112!
