Students have been learning about life long ago in Mrs. Seals' 1st grade class. Today they read directions on how to make ink from blackberries and used feather quills to practice their writing. They were all in agreement that pencils and pens are much easier to use!
These two lovely 2nd graders won a student-designed sweatshirt from the Highland Hot Spot in a pre-Christmas PBS prize drawing! We are so lucky to have the Hot Spot and access to some of the best graphic designers we know!
