Mrs. Toth's 2nd Graders got to harvest the pumpkins in their garden. Mrs. Susanne Brown gave a lesson on pumpkins. Students were able to use magnifying glasses to examine "bugs". They then used the information they learned to examine the pumpkins, vines and other pumpkins parts.
They concluded the day by harvesting 160 pumpkins from their garden. That was enough to share with Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd AND 4th grades. A great way to kick off FALL!

Students who enjoy just 20 minutes of reading a day in class can encounter nearly 1.8 million words a year!
That's a world of stories, ideas, and discoveries waiting inside the classroom. Being here means becoming a stronger reader.

Attendance and literacy make a powerful team!
Students who show up regularly read more, understand more, and unlock more opportunities. Every day present is a day of stronger reading and a brighter future.
