We’re so proud of Ms. Coleman's third grade class for their amazing work on their recent Life Cycles Science Project!

Over the past few weeks, these young scientists have been diving into the fascinating world of life cycles — exploring everything from butterflies and frogs to plants… and even chickens! Students observed and researched each stage of development, creating colorful and creative displays to share their findings.

Their hard work culminated in a fantastic Science Showcase, where students presented their projects to fellow students, families, and community members. One of the highlights? Watching how eggs develop into fluffy chicks!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students. It was a great day of learning, curiosity, and celebration!
