🎃🔬 Pumpkin Science in Action! 🍂🧡
Our 3rd and 4th grade ESL students in Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Goad’s classes got hands-on with science as they dissected and labeled pumpkins! 🎃
Students explored the inside of a pumpkin, identified its different parts, and learned more about how pumpkins grow.
We love seeing our students learning, exploring, and having fun along the way!
Way to go, East Side! 💚💙🤍

Thank you, Cooper Steel, for investing in #students at East Side Elementary School by regularly visiting classrooms to read and model a love for reading.
