6th graders working at ELA stations
Kylee Barton popped in 6th grade science today and created a "teachable moment." She observed the students working on leaf collections. She went to her Ag room and returned with her "Weed and Crop" Binder and taught the students about weeds that farmers battle each farming season. It was a great example for 6th graders to see how this Botany project will benefit them in Agronomy class in high school. Great job, Kylee! She is a natural teacher!
