Students in Miss Redd's class recently had a blast creating "puffy paint" pumpkins! They mixed and added food coloring to design their unique masterpieces.

Ms. Snead's first graders had an exciting hands-on science experience this week as part of their Science SOL explorations! Using their science kits, students created bird feeders with WOW butter and birdseed. Each child made one to take home and also placed some outside our classroom to observe nature up close.
This activity encouraged students to explore concepts related to living things, habitats, and observation skills—all while having a wonderful time learning about how to care for the world around us. We can’t wait to see which feathered friends visit our classroom feeders!
