Enrichment classes got a lil hairy today...and scaley, and stinky. Ms. Forbes, our GT teacher, invited Cockrill's Farm Petting Zoo and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Alligator to help build background knowledge for the Kinder and 1st grades new modules on animals. We had an amazing time hanging out with the animals, noticing their features and wondering what kinds of stories they might tell!
🚀 Your student’s future starts here! 🌟
