Mrs. Coombs and Mrs. Moyers' kindergarten classes rocked their 60's inspired outfits, marking the celebration of the final 60 days left in kindergarten! It was such a groovy time.
Jamie Mullins, from WVU Extension, conducted a STEM Imagination activity for every second grade class, blending science and reading. While reading, "Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library," she guided students through the scientific method. Providing supplies and dyeing hard-boiled eggs, Jamie instructed the students to crack the egg before immersing it in dye, prompting them to hypothesize that both the exterior and interior of the egg would be dyed. Our little scientists are AMAZING! #GoGilmer
