It was a warm, sunny day for our 1st graders’ trip to “Merry Lea Farm!”
We learned much about “sustainable” farming practices, teaching us ways to
protect and enjoy various ecosystems created by God.
On the farm we saw/fed turkeys, hens/roosters, and pigs, as well as nice hiking to
the various farming areas. We saw huge gardens growing vegetables and herbs,
and we got to find all the ingredients for a spaghetti sauce (which made us hungry
for our picnic.) We also enjoyed hiking through and learning about the woodland
and meadow ecosystems. Later, we participated in a relay race to assemble the
supplies needed to make grape jelly. Our tasting items were: honey, tomatoes, and apples! It was all
around a beautiful, fun, educational, and yummy experience!
Chess Club News:
King's Court had three players level up last week. Mason Thompson, 6A, and new this year,
moved up to Knight Rank. Boston Miller, 6A, and Jayden Barnfield, 5A, advanced to the coveted Queen Rank. And the word is out that Brennan Miller, 5A, took down Ms. Walts in a great
game! You earned your crown in that one, Brennan.
Chess Mates had four beginners level up to the Knight Rank and they
can now begin to play some real games of chess for wins. Jaxson
Stauffer, 4B, moved up to the Bishop Rank. And Braden Gibson, 4B,
advanced to the Rook Rank this week! Good job guys.
