We are the Helman Dragons Fourth Grade

Welcome to our page! We are the Fourth Grade Dragons and we want to introduce you to our two fourth grades... Mark Sherbow and Ellen Werner are our teachers... Mark has a rule, "No Smiling and No Fun!'but we think he is joking!  Ellen just arrived from Colorado after being gone from Ashland for a while. Our classes love to be outside on Learning Trips and we even have a fleet of bikes! Check out our students and some of our posts.

What a wonderful day and amazing weather. Thanks for getting all the kids their on time this morning. The rangers were excellent and had so much knowledge about the animals and geology of the area. The kids were troopers… hiking more than 4 miles and up a good grade to the summit of Garfield Peak…Difficulty: Difficult


Length: 1.7 mi (2.74 km)

Elevation: 7090 - 7976 ft (2161 - 2431 m)…. that’s 900 ft gain… Way to go Dragons!

Be sure to ask you student how the Caldera formed and about the Clark’s Nutcracker… Thanks kids for an awesome day!
Peace and Light,

Mark
