Mrs. Carney's 4th-graders on working on their vocab words this week. Students were given a "Flight School Mission" and after flying their paper airplanes, the class discussed words like projectile and trajectory - both words include the Latin root "ject". 🤯 Great job, 4th graders!! #experiencetheloveforlearning
