Hey Handley Hornets!
We are having Fun Fridays for March Reading Month. See the attached flyer to see what days & themes we have.
First graders explored the scientific process yesterday with a fun lesson from Dr. G. They used eyedroppers to test how many water drops could balance on different coins, then recorded their data, created graphs, and shared their observations. Students also enjoyed a special visit from problem-solving hamster friends Chocolate and Vanilla, adding extra excitement to their learning!
