Ms. Hagel and Mrs. Holderby once again took the plunge to support Special Olympics! It was only 32 degrees that morning!
Second graders welcomed Ms. Kelly Grigg-Reddish, our School Attendance Clerk, Health Aide, scheduler, and overall keeper of our students, to provide a valuable lesson about honey bees.
Students have been learning about INSECTS in their Knowledge CKLA lessons. Students know about social and solitary insects. They can also identify an insect using its attributes.
Ms. Grigg-Reddish is a beekeeper in her spare time. She shared her knowledge of the insects, how she cares for them, their habits, and the benefits of honey!
