🌱 Growing and Learning in the Garden! 🥕❤️

Mrs. McKenzie’s 3rd grade class recently enjoyed some hands-on learning time in our garden! Students had the opportunity to harvest fresh carrots and beets while learning about where our food comes from.

We love watching our students learn, explore, and connect with nature! 🌿🥕
