Mrs. Knapp’s first graders at Western Elementary celebrated Johnny Appleseed’s birthday with a day full of apple-themed fun! Students made homemade applesauce, enjoyed tasty apple treats, and read books about apples and their life cycles. They also put their creativity to the test with a STEM challenge, using blocks and their imaginations to build their own apples! What an apple-solutely fun way to learn and celebrate!

Now that was a field trip worth exploring! Western Elementary kindergarteners packed up their curiosity and headed to the Buckeye Museum for a fun day of learning and discovery! A special thank you to Park National Bank for helping make this adventure possible for our young Minutemen. Safe to say, they had a blast!

Students in Mrs. Winner’s kindergarten class at Western Elementary continued their study of harvest by learning all about Ohio farming and agriculture! Students read about combines, explored the different grains they can process, watched a farmer explain how a combine works, labeled the parts of a combine, and even “harvested” numbers and quantities from corn using a model combine and tractor. The activities came from resources Mrs. Winner received during a summer training focused on bringing local agriculture and farming into the classroom. A big THANK YOU to imAgine Ag, a partnership between Ohio Farm Bureau and Agriculture in the Classroom, for providing the training and resources!

Mrs. Edmund’s kindergarten class at Western Elementary has some exciting new learning tools thanks to the Richland County Foundation!

Students at Western had the opportunity to get hands-on with our Air Toobz machine, made possible through a grant from the Richland County Foundation!

Thank you , to the Richland County Foundation for supporting our Technology & STEM classroom and helping us provide these meaningful learning experiences for our students!
