Students in Environmental science grew tomatoes this year and recently reaped the rewards. A joint lesson with Ms. Lemmer meant they got to make a veggie dip to go with their tomatoes after learning about nutrition.
Sixth graders traveled around the world without ever leaving their classroom! After researching famous landmarks, students used Canva to create fake Instagram posts featuring their locations. The project combined research, digital literacy, creativity, and fun. Here are a few places they "visited." #sdalibraries #passporttolearning #traveltheworld
