Our 5th Grade GATE students spent Thursday at Monte Sano State Park exploring nature through an educational hike where they learned about plants, animals, bugs, and ecosystems. They ended the day by creating art using materials found in nature.
Ms. Aguilar is really going to miss this group, as they were the first students she had from 3rd through 5th grade in the program.
