Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Beth's second-grade classes embarked on an exciting journey to understand the intricate process of pollination. They conducted in-depth research, learning how pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, and beetles help plants produce the fruits, flowers, and vegetables we enjoy. After gathering their findings, the students honed their writing and oral presentation skills by creating detailed reports and visually engaging posters. They proudly presented their work to their classmates and a partner class nearby, thoughtfully addressing two essential questions: 1. What role does pollination play in providing us with fruits, flowers, and vegetables? and 2. How can we think like researchers and effectively share our discoveries with others? This hands-on learning experience not only deepened their understanding of pollination but also strengthened their ability to communicate scientific ideas.

Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Anessa's second-grade students explored the fascinating process of pollination by researching and writing about how it works. They practiced their oral presentation skills and created impressive posters to display their findings. They shared their research with classmates, first-grade classes, and staff, reflecting on these key questions: How do we get the fruits, flowers, and vegetables we enjoy? How can we become researchers and share what we’ve learned?

Stop your scroll! Let me introduce you to Gi'ana Smith. Gi'ana is a fifth grade student here at Union Chapel Elementary School. Here are some fun facts about Gi'ana: * Her favorite animal is a dog. (They're not called man's best friend for nothing.) * Her favorite color is light pink. (Get outta here, fuschia.) * Her favorite place is Carowinds. (How loud do you scream on the Vortex, Gi'ana?) * She likes to read and draw in her free time and wishes that everything in life was free. (It doesn't cost anything to be kind.) * She uses the word 'determined' to describe herself. Mrs. Ashley Kurfurst, Gi'ana's teacher, says, "Gi'ana works hard in class and is a pleasure to teach. Keep up the great work!" What a great compliment! Gi'ana is featured on our Facebook page because she purchased this certificate in our PBIS Store. If your child would like to receive a shout-out on our social media pages, they can buy this opportunity using their PBIS points. We love highlighting our wonderful students.
