2nd grade had an amazing day at Cukabury Farm! 🌱🐄

Students explored how plants grow with hands-on planting activities, enjoyed a wagon ride through the fields, and met some pretty cool farm animals along the way. From pigs and goats to playground fun, it was a day full of learning, laughter, and fresh air!

We love bringing learning to life outside the classroom! 💚 #FieldTripFun #HandsOnLearning #DolphinPride
