🍁🌳 Nature, Discovery, and a Little Apple C***r! 🍎

Our Sumner second graders took their learning outdoors with a visit to the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center! From discovering the wonders of nature to watching an apple press turn fresh apples into c***r, our students experienced science and the beauty of fall firsthand! 🍂🍏

There is something special about watching curiosity come alive through hands-on experiences! Exploring, asking questions, and making discoveries are all part of growing as learners! 🌟

A big THANK YOU to the Nature Center staff for sharing their knowledge and creating such a memorable experience for our Sumner Stars! ❤️💛

Each fall, first graders from throughout the district visit Cedar Grove Orchard. While there, students learn all about apples (including how they grow and a little history) before getting to pick their own from the orchard. Today was Sumner's turn and, as you can see, the students loved the experience. Check it out!
