Veteran's Day Celebration

Yesterday we had a very special Veteran's Day assembly.  Several veterans from the area were invited to join us in our celebration.  This assembly was to honor the men and women who have served our country.  This was a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about veterans, honor, and respect.  First, the veterans brought in the colors.  We then did the pledge of allegiance together.  After we presented our guests with patriotic songs that we had learned with Mrs. McVety.

Pearson Farm

Friday we had a wonderful time on our field trip to Pearson's farm.  It was a great opportunity for students to learn about harvesting plants.  It went right along with our plant unit that we had just completed.  While we picked beets we talked about the different parts of the plant.  After we finished picking plants we sorted through the beats.  The small ones went to the bunnies at the farm, and the large ones came back to school with us for the cafeteria to make something with them.  Some of the class got to help sort through kale and tamales.  At the end of our hard work we got to see the sheet and bunnies.  It was a lot of fun, and we are so thankful to Mrs. Flag for helping to write the grant that allowed us to go on this wonderful field trip!
