❄️🐻❄️ Hands-On Science in Ms. Muller’s Class!
Students recently learned how Arctic animals stay warm by studying blubber. To see it in action, they placed one hand in a bag with Crisco and the other without, then dipped both in icy water. The “blubber” hand stayed much warmer!
Learning comes to life through hands-on experiments like this. 🧪✨
Pocahontas Elementary students celebrated Read Across America Week by dressing up as the careers they hope to have one day. From doctors and teachers to athletes and firefighters, our halls were full of big dreams and bright futures!
Our elementary students had some special guest readers this week — Rotary Club members and even Dr. Lance Arbuckle and Mr. Green joined in the fun!
We love seeing leaders from across our district take time to sit in a classroom, share a story, and help inspire a love of reading.
