Kindergarten students in Mrs. Skretta's class visited a farm to learn about all of the different animals. Then, they expanded their learning into a showcase event. The young learners worked with their high school buddies to create 3D animals from recycled materials. They also created posters to share their learning and document what the various animals eat and how they live.
