🍏 Apples & Engineering ⚙️
With fall officially here, Mrs. Collin's 3rd graders took time to learn about apples! The class investigated the many varieties of apples, how large apples can get (including the world's largest apple,) and much more. Afterwards, our young scholars explored the properties of paper and began engineering and testing their very own apple trappers. #FarmerFun #Enjoy
Fall Weather 🍂
It may not officially be fall, yet, but we have had some cooler weather of late. At FCES, we try to get students outdoors, as much as possible, for recesses, Physical Education, and mask breaks. We even have classes learning at the outdoor classroom, on the trail, or underneath a comfy shade tree. This is just a friendly reminder to make sure students are wearing weather appropriate clothing to school. Pants and jackets are a huge help, especially, on a windy day like today!
