New year, new books! Here is just a small selection of our new books that were delivered to the Middle School Media Center this week.
As students eagerly left the classroom for winter break they got an early Christmas surprise from the agriculture aeroponic systems. The green beans the students planted over a month ago finally produced the first batch of deliciousness. The students got the opportunity to taste a fresh green bean straight from the plant! The left over parts of the green beans were not wasted but fed to the class Guinea Pig Frank for a delicious snack as well!
Mrs. Johnson's fifth grade reading class made snowman ornaments to get ready for the holidays!
Feature Book Friday (One Day Early)! Today's book is by Harry Potter Author JK Rowling. In this story Jack, a young boy, loses his best friend, a stuffed animal named Dur Pig. Jack and his new toy, the Christmas Pig, go on a magical journey to find his best friend.
Not only do students prosper and grow in the agriculture classroom so do the plants! The photos show the blossoms of cucumbers and peas! The flowers mean they are close to producing cucumbers and peas!
Mrs Potter's classes learned about the tradition of Bûche de Noël in France and Tió de Nadal in northern Spain this week and created their own to bring home!
