For the past six weeks, Ms. Christine Snyder from the University of Florida's IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences) Program has visited our Little Paws every Tuesday to share the "MyPlate" curriculum. Through engaging lessons, she has taught our preschoolers about food groups, healthy eating habits, and the importance of washing hands for 20 seconds. We are so grateful for her dedication and for helping our Little Paws build a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Thank you, Ms. Christine! #PanthersRISE

Mrs. Yancey’s biology class kicked off their study of kingdoms with a hands-on taxonomy activity. Students explored how living things are classified based on specific characteristics, but just like real scientists, they discovered that not everyone agrees on which traits are most important. In this activity, two groups of "scientists" were given a list of random objects to sort and classify based on their own reasoning. Each group came up with a completely different system, sparking discussion about how classification works in the real world. #PanthersRISE
