4th Grade took their field trip to Hershey's ZooAmerica yesterday, and they encountered critters like Millie the skunk, a legless lizard, and so many more wildlife wonders throughout the day.
As a culminating activity for their Animals and Habitats module, Kindergarten had a "beary" good time learning about bears. They learned about different types of bears, where they live, what they eat, and had a very special guest visitor! They also created an art project together.

HELP US ADOPT A GORILLA! Change for Ivan - During Library Time, Second Grade has been reading the novel, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. The inspired story of a real silverback gorilla named Ivan who was held captive for 27 years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta. The Zoo houses the nation's largest collection of Western Lowland Gorillas. To complement our reading, Second Grade will be collecting any spare change to raise funds so we can adopt our own Western Lowland Gorilla through World Wildlife. Any extra funds will be used as a donation to World Wildlife, which supports protected areas of the Western lowland gorilla's habitat.
Second Grade students finished a unit about LIGHT. Here, students are studying refraction. They are using a triangular prism to see light bending, creating a rainbow.
