Mrs. King’s 1st Grade Class is enjoying reading with their new reading buddies!
On April 4th, Pre-K had a visit from Meggan Hiestand from Ag in the Classroom. She read "Jack's Garden" to the students and showed them how to plant grass seed. They each took turns making their own grass seed heads. Their pictures were placed on the outside of their cups and we waited for their "grass hair" to grow. The pictures show the "hair growth" in a week and a half since her visit with us. Thank you Meggan and Ag in the Classroom!
