Great musicians, such as Madonna,Coldplay, and Cher have used Garageband in the studio torecord songs. A really cool thing is that students can then geta glimpse as to what goes into recording a song. In this as-signment, students were to compose a 32 measure song usingfive tracks.

Fourth Grade Nebraska StudiesJill Moore, Fourth Grade

State standards in Social Studies at the fourth grade levelare all about Nebraska. By the end of the year, students areexperts!

Third quarter focused on the lifestyle of the pioneers, andthe development of towns in the “Wild West”, due to im-proved transportation and communication. Guest speakersfrom the Lincoln Quilters Guild presented their “DiscoverNebraska” program on February 11th. Students celebratedStatehood Day by decorating Ne-braska-shaped cookies, addingrivers, cities, and geographicalfeatures with frosting and candies.(Nebraska was 142 years old onMarch 1st.) Some students en-hanced their learning by complet-ing extra credit projects, makingmodels of soddy homes or wind-mills! Some students chose to sewbeautiful quilt blocks!

During fourth quarter, we will learn about Nebraska gov-ernment, economy, and famous people. Joy Ohlstrom, fromthe Nebraska Soybean Board, was our guest speaker onMarch 23rd. Students will also take the traditional field tripto Heritage School on April 14th and 15th. We will wearcostumes and experience life in a one-room school in 1888,during a full-day simulation!

Many of the social studies activities would not be possiblewithout the support and efforts of fourth grade parents. Ahuge thanks goes out to the many parents/relatives who vol-unteered throughout the year, or who helped their child witha project. Thanks, also, to the School Board for continuingto support our field trip to Heritage School!

Math/Science NewsMrs. Stahr, 5-8 Math/Science

A year ago, 5-8 Math students were challenged to build a kiloliter andwe are happy to report it is coming along nicely. We have nearly 3hectometers! Thank you to all who have been collecting the liters for us.If you have any plastic liter bottles you would like to recycle, pleasesend them our way. Any sixth grader will be happy to deliver them foryou.

We have been studying erosion in sixthgrade science. Gravity, running water,glaciers and wind can all cause ero-sion. The pictures in the Clipper weretaken the day we measured how gravity effects sand. We filled a tubewith sand, and then predicted the width and height of the hill it wouldmake when we pulled the tube off. We repeated that process addingsand to the hill 4 more times. We learned that in most cases the widthincreased more than the height due to gravity.

Another activity we just finished was what effect water would have onsugar cubes. We made a 3x3x3 stack with the cubes and placed a squareof wet paper towel on top of the cubes. Every 5 minutes we checked theeffect of the erosion and then added more water. Some students saw adramatic result and even the total collapse of their cubes.

We are currently preparing for the last 8th grade Science Standard whichis on energy and energy transfer. We have learned about electromag-netic, heat, electrical, sound, nuclear, mechanical and chemical energy.Many types of transfers can occur in something as basic as eating food.The mechanical energy of our jaw transfers to chemical energy. Thechemical energy (digestion) transfers to thermal energy needed to keepour bodies warm. The chemical is also converted to electrical energyin our brains and back to mechanical energy needed to move physi-cally.

The pictures show 8th grade students measuring with their calorimeterswhile studying thermal energy, to determine the result of mixing hotwater with cold water. They were asked to measure the mass of thewater and the temperatures before and after the mixing occurred. Thislab was to demonstrate the Conservation of Energy which states thatwhen one energy is converted, no energy is destroyed in the process.So in this lab, the thermal energy transferred to the cold water should beapproximately equal to the thermal energy lost by the hot water.

In the few weeks that 8th graders have left, we will be working moreextensively with sound and light energy. If any of our readers are ex-perts in these fields, we would love to have you share your knowledgewith us.

Counselor’s CornerMrs. Faimon, Guidance Counselor

D.A.R.E. To Resist Drugs and ViolenceAs a part of the School Guid-ance curriculum, fifth gradestudents are participating inthe D.A.R.E. program withDeputy Dave Blythe from the

Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. He comes to our guid-ance class each Monday afternoon to teach aboutD.A.R.E.-Drug Abuse Resistance Education. He hasbeen teaching this program at Malcolm School for threeyears.

Many different lessons are incorporated into D.A.R.E.classes. The students learn about peer pressure and factsabout different drugs from tobacco and alcohol to inhal-ants and marijuana. They learn how to make positivechoices for themselves and ways to say no to negativepressure. The class is interactive with large and smallgroup activities, videos/DVDs and question and answersessions.

The D.A.R.E. program will close with a graduation eventon May 4, 2009 at 2:50 p.m. in the Westfall gymnasium.Students will hear from high school role models andshare their personal commitments about healthy choices.Fifth grade parents and family members are welcomeand encouraged to attend. Traditionally, the graduateshave been given D.A.R.E. t-shirts to wear at the gradua-tion. Any district patron who would like to help with thecost of the t-shirts can send contributions. Checks shouldbe made out to Malcolm Public Schools. If you wouldplease put D.A.R.E. in the memo portion of the check,we would appreciate it.

Another important aspect of D.A.R.E. is that the studentshave the opportunity to share time in a positive settingwith a law enforcement officer. They respect him andhis position in the community and learn that officers arethere to help us. We feel honored to have Deputy Blythein our classroom each week and fortunate that our countyand community support this positive program in ourschools.
