Mrs. Nadrozny's 2nd grade students learned about pollination through a hands-on experience by creating an insect and then having it spread pollen (powdered Kraft cheese) from flower to flower. They then used magnifying glasses to closely investigate the transfer of 'pollen' from the insect legs to the flowers. This was ALL thanks to the Blue Ridge Education Foundation (BREF) for their grant to support learning through a 'We Learn By Doing' approach. Thank you BREF!
Mrs. Ward’s kindergarteners want to remind everyone how awesome the weather is right now for outdoor reading! Catching some rays and growing our brains!
