About Me

Hello and welcome to our fourth grade science class!!
​
My name is Lucy Cerpa and I have been working at FSUS for two years now. I have absolutely loved teaching the fourth grade and cannot wait for this third year and new class.
​
On this website, students will be able to access any and all projects that are discussed in class. They are to be completed and turned in via this website and then will also be evaluated through here as well.
​
The first assignment is a research paper on the solar system. Each student is to write a one page paper informing the reader, myself, about the solar system as if I have never heard of it. You are to use at least three sources and make sure to not copy and paste information. You must write in sentences that your classmates would understand.
​
Feel free to reach out with any questions and look back for an update to assignment number 2.
