First grade had a fantastic day during Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday. Students were able to visit all first grade teachers for fun activities and we also made applesauce !

Students in Third Grade went on their first field trip on Friday to Leonard Harrison State Park. While there, students engaged in many activities and team building challenges such as a scavenger hunt and building beaver dams. They also learned about different landmarks and features throughout the park. This trip allowed the students a hands on experience to further assist them in answering that week’s ELA essential question: How do landmarks help us understand our country’s story? It also reinforced the theme of protecting our nation’s parks and wildlife.
