Students had their eyes on the prize during the All American Fundraiser Kick-Off assembly this morning. The inflatable minion shown in the picture is just one of many prizes available to students through the fundraiser.

Mrs. Ferrel's first-grade class was able to enjoy a tasty snack after they completed some hands-on learning about Johnny Appleseed. After studying about the life and work of Johnny Appleseed, students made predictions about how many seeds would be in their apples and opened them up to discover if their predictions were correct. They recorded the activity into their interactive math and science journals.

1st graders enjoyed the first day of fall while conducting an outdoor experiment in the garden. As part of their unit on properties and patterns, students observed a cube of ice change from solid to liquid. Students also recognized that the water would evaporate and change from liquid to gas.
