Predators and Prey: Fourth-grade students enjoyed a visit from the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Students were able to see an owl and a hawk up close. They asked questions, learned about what makes them predators and which prey they eat. The visit concluded with students being able to touch a feather and talon.
Native Americans of Georgia: Second-grade students learned about the Creek and Cherokee nations during a program conducted by the Atlanta History Center. Students listened to a story, played a communication game, and examined artifacts.
Seed Adaptations:First grade had a wonderful time learning about seeds with the Wylde Center. They learned about the parts of a seed, what seeds need to survive, and how they travel. Love bringing these experiences to our students with PTA funding.
