🚒 Earlier this month, Mrs. Hart & Mrs. Ammon’s preschool class went on a scavenger hunt! 🚒 In honor of Fire Prevention Week last week, the students have been learning about community helpers, focusing on firefighters. They explored how firefighters keep us safe and learned about important safety items in our school and community, such as fire alarms, fire hydrants, and fire extinguishers. After their lesson, the class went on a scavenger hunt to find pictures of everything they had learned. It was a fun and adventurous way to reinforce the importance of fire safety! 🔍👩‍🚒 #FirePreventionWeek #PreschoolAdventures #BcreekSchools

Students in Miss Gore's class at Shaw have been learning what it means to be a scientist and each step of the scientific method. This past week, they experimented to answer the question: "What will happen to a gummy bear placed in different liquids?" Our scientists hypothesized, observed, and recorded their findings—and were amazed to discover that the gummy bears expanded rather than dissolved! Then, they explored the science behind it, discussing how the gelatin in the gummy bears caused osmosis. They had so much fun experimenting and learning! 🍬🔍 #ShawElementary #BcreekSchools
