A 𝐁𝐈𝐆 shoutout to Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Owen’s Pre-K class! Last month, they learned all about apples and how they grow. Today, they took their learning to the next level by exploring how apple seeds turn into seedlings—and even planted their own! These scholars did an amazing job and had so much fun🫶🏾✨Way to go, future gardeners! 🌱🍎
