Preschoolers had a blast in dramatic play as they stepped into the role of farmers! They gathered eggs from the “chickens,” dressed up as different animals, and even took turns driving toy tractors. This farm-themed play helped them build teamwork, communication, and imaginative thinking — all while exploring what life is like on the farm!

Sheldon Middle School sixth graders have been studying organ systems in science class. After learning about the digestive system, they completed a hands-on project that simulated the entire digestive process. Starting with a “bite” of cracker and banana, students followed the food’s journey through the stomach, into the intestines, and finally through excretion—bringing their learning to life in a memorable and interactive way.
