Our second graders have enjoyed learning how we get the fruits, flowers, and vegetables we enjoy. The students also learned about pollinators and which fruits and flowers they get pollen and nectar from. Last week, the students got to plant a variety of fruits and flowers in our school flower beds. We appreciate these students for helping to make our school a beautiful place to learn.
