🌱 Learning Grows Here! 🌲
Students in Mrs. Nault’s first grade class explored seeds from both deciduous and coniferous trees. They carefully opened pinecones to discover and observe the seeds hidden inside, turning curiosity into hands-on learning.
Through this activity, students learned how trees protect their seeds and how those seeds are spread in nature. A fun and engaging way to connect science to the world around them! 🍃✨
