Second grade learned about all the agricultural products in Wisconsin! A big thank you to the Sauk County Farm Bureau and #agintheclassroom.
Agriculture is all around us at our project-based school! Last week 4K learned about farms. Thompson Farms brought a combine for the students to explore. They also had a great time playing with farm themed toys, observing the animals in our school barn, making a cow puppet, and singing Old McDonald.

4K students had a deliciously fantastic week learning about apples and Fall. They made applesauce and apple pie. A trip out to the school orchard and garden added to the learning fun. Students also learned how many apples tall they are and graphed their favorite type of apple.
After careful cutting of garden fresh vegetables, the fifth graders enjoyed salsa from seeds they planted last spring! Yum!
