The Reason for the Sneezin'!

February 9, 2020

"The Reason for the Sneezin' " 
Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Kendall's Pre-K class at WISE Center Programs read a story titled, "Sneezy the Snowman" which accompanied their snowball melting experiment. Our last report stated that "it was not looking good for the snowballs".

Walton High School's culinary students recently partnered with the Sonder Project to fill the raised bed gardens on our campus. Students and volunteers did a great job working together to get all 20 beds filled and 4 of the beds planted. Produce from the beds will help support the culinary program and the Walton High School Community. Way to go, Braves!

Ms. McMillan's sixth grade computer class at Paxton has taken a "Code Break." During this time, students have the opportunity to learn more about code through the courses on Code.org. The students learn basic coding and coding terms with some of their favorite games, like Minecraft and Angry Birds. The students are having fun and learning to code!

This past week, Paxton's PreK class had an exciting visitor. Dakota Cassady of 2 Gals and a Goat brought her 4-month old goat to visit the students. PreK has been studying farms and meeting their new four-legged friend added to their lesson.
