April Food 4 Thought...

April Food 4 Thought was all about honey!  The students learned the difference between honeybees and wasps, and got to see beeswax and honeycomb.  Students also got to taste honey.  What a great experience!



John Deere Visit...

4K students had a special visitor today!  Matt Achenbach, father of one of our 4K students, brought down one of their big John Deere tractors!  Students got a chance to learn what Matt does with the tractor and also got to climb up in the driver and buddy seats.  They couldn't believe that the wheels were bigger than the students! 

We hope you enjoy our pictures from this fun visit!  Thanks to Matt and Keri Achenbach for taking the time to teach our students about the tractor and the work it does!
