Mrs. Meadow's PreK class read the story The Gingerbread Man and then were separated into groups and had to think of an object that would get the gingerbread man across the water without getting wet. They used team building and critical thinking skills to come up with just one way to get their gingerbread man across. At the end they made a prediction if the gingerbread man cookie would sink of float if he didn't have that object.

First grade students enjoyed a field trip to Fort Fisher Aquarium this week. Students are currently learning about the sea horse's features and writing stories about how the sea horse uses its eyes, pouch and tail to survive. They had the chance to see seahorses move and were able to see their features up close. AND they saw a baby Loggerhead sea turtle that was rescued locally. What a great day!
