The Master Gardeners came to Mrs. Fleming's 2nd grade class last week to share their knowledge about worms. Students got to hold them, look at their intestines using a flashlight under the petri dish, and determine if each one was or was not an adult worm. 🪱Fun Fact: Worms don't have noses but breathe through their skin. That's why they have to stay moist all the time!
A big shout out to our JPS Facilities Management department for clearing the remaining snow on our playground! Our students and staff are extremely grateful!

In Mrs. Johnson’s Pre-K class, they have been working hard on their patterning, ordering numbers, and fine motor skills during their unit on the Gingerbread Man. They are also reading lots of books and learning how to compare and contrast the stories.
Ms. Dower's Kindergartners read "Turkey Trouble" in class last week, then did an art project where they displayed their creativity by disguising their own turkeys.
