Mrs. Thompson’s 4th grade ELA classes had some special visitors during their nonfiction unit on turkeys!
Thanks to the Baxter County Farm Bureau Leadership Committee (WLC), students got a hands-on learning experience as they held baby turkeys (poults) and learned more about commercial farming.
The classes also put their learning into action by packing Thanksgiving bags to donate to blessing boxes around town, spreading a little extra kindness this holiday season! 🧡
Congratulations to our winners!

Our first graders have been exploring Bull Shoals State Park and learning all about white-tailed deer, owls, and bird beak adaptations! Students also enjoyed a nature hike, and the learning continues back in the classroom as they dissect owl pellets to discover even more about these fascinating creatures!
What a fun way to bring science to life!
