Our #vanmeter preschoolers in Mrs. McIlravy’s class had a fun field site visit with Mr. Surratt this week as part of their car study.
They were able to ask him lots of questions about cars including learning about their auto lift, taking off a tire and putting air in a tire.



Second grade classes celebrated an extremely special and unique day this week! TwosDay, 2-22-22 (take 2) due to a snow day. We did everything in twos, pairs, twins, and it was two-rrific!!
