🌱DIGGING IN FOR EDUCATION🌱 The 3rd Grade Gifted class at Felix A. Williams Elementary is celebrating its annual Garden Week! During the week, students receive a hands-on enrichment of their “plants” science unit and their Expository and Research Writing lessons. Each child chooses their own plant, conducts research to become experts, prepares the garden beds and plants their plant. The 3rd Grade Gifted students will continue to care for their plants all year and later give garden tours to kindergarten, first and second-grade students once they are "experts" and feel confident in sharing their new knowledge with others! #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDTheRippleEffect
