Third graders have been as busy as bees lately. Here they are learning about pollination and how important bees are in this process. Their "pollen" was cinnamon and coffee and they had fun making sure the "pollen" went from one flower to another.
Students in 6th grade have been learning about Ancient Mesopotamia and the beginning of writing (cuneiform writing.) Symbols for sounds. Students designed their own cuneiform alphabet and practiced writing messages for classmates to solve. Today students were scribes and carved a message onto a clay tablet.

Students in Animal Science are learning the primal and retail cuts of beef. Price of the retail cut is highly dependent on the location it is from on the beef animal. One goal for this lesson is to be a wiser consumer at the grocery store when choosing beef.
