Thanksgiving Lunch
Today Ms. Pleasants' PreK class began a new study — all about bread! 🍞 To kick things off, our class made bread right in a crockpot. Students observed the ingredients, watched the changes as the bread baked, and of course, enjoyed tasting it with some butter afterward! This hands-on experience helped them to start thinking about where bread comes from and how it’s made.

In STEAM, 3rd graders have been engineering their own cauldrons and testing how many marbles they can hold. It is so fun to see all the creativity in the designs and hearing the discussions about how they could improve their build next time.🧉
