Mrs. Galeana's JCHS Child Development Class came to visit Ms. Anderson and Mrs. Eickoff's afternoon Pre-K Class at West. The JCHS students were able to learn how preschool functions and how children learn during center time and gross motor time.
Today, the first graders at West had a special visit from a beekeeper, Julie McKinney, who taught them all about the amazing world of bees. The students were excited to learn how the hive works and why bees are so important. This lesson on pollinators coincides perfectly with their plant unit. They even got to see real bees up close in an observation hive and even had a chance to taste fresh honey! It was a fun and educational experience that left everyone buzzing with excitement!
