Sandy Creek Outreach Visit

Today Second Grade was visited by Ms. Mowbray from Sandy Creek Nature Center.  She provided interactive and hands-on activities to meet Georgia Performance Standards and Common Core Standards.  The students learned about life cycles from birth to death of animals and plants.  We learned how living things grow, change, reproduce and die. Ms. Mowbray brought in live animals (hissing cockroach and blue tounge skink) as well as preserved examples of stages of life cycles from insects.  The students were divided into three groups to participate in the hands on activities such as ordering life cycles of living things, sorting living and nonliving things, and baby and adult animal sort.
