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!
