Jones Valley Teaching Farm Spring/Summer Camp Opportunities
For those of you who enjoy(ed) our Interdependence Unit 🌱🌵🌿 in Mrs. Naro's rotation, the JVTF is offering several spring and summer camps called "Camp Grow". Please check out their website for more information! And if you can attend, I would LOVE for you to share what you learn!
Eastern Star Quilting Guild Visits
Ms. Furman's second rotation learned the basics of sewing on various machines from the 1940s through present day. Comments included why they preferred one machine over another, how calming it was in general, and how much more they liked it than they thought they might. Each day of the week students requested more time on our permanent classroom machine after our kind visitors left! Many thanks to Ms. Denise and friends for their time and enthusiasm!
