4th Grade Creative Enrichment: Sound Waves

4/9/2025 4:18 pm

4th graders were treated this week to the Discovery Museum’s Sound Waves enrichment program. The students learned all about sound waves and how they travel. Hands-on experiments using tuning forks, ping pong balls, metal tools with strings, Slinkys and water helped demonstrate how sound waves travel through different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Ask them which experiment was their favorite! Or if sound waves travel the fastest through the air, water or a solid object.

Birthday Book Club

2/5/2025 1:43 pm

Celebrate your child's birthday and support the Loring PTO with a Birthday Book! Have your child choose a book that they'd like to donate to the Loring Library in their honor. There will be a sticker on the inside cover that notes who it is from, so everyone who checks it out will know who picked it for years to come. We will also give a shout out in our newsletter each month to those who have participated.

Find out all about it here!
