Our Flanagan-Cornell FFA chapter welcomed our Kindergarten–4th grade students this morning for our annual Ag Expo! FFA members led elementary students through five hands-on stations where they learned about insects, water, mammals found in nature, trees, apples, corn, and where our food comes from.
This event gives our FFA members the opportunity to share their knowledge while helping younger students discover the many different facets of agriculture and better understand where the food they eat and the products they use every day come from.
A great morning was had by all and we even got some of our teachers to dress up as part of the activities!
Ms Dennis AM PreK bank visit
Ms. Sydney's PM Flanagan State Bank visit.
Peach PreK went to Flanagan State Bank today! We got a behind the scenes tour inside the bank. We got to try to close the heavy vault door, watch how the drive through tube works, hold $500 worth of coins, go up/down stairs & enjoyed a treat and some coloring. We even got to see if Mrs. Tuftie in the elevator or us going up the steps was faster. Thanks for having us! 🏦 💰
And Freddy Falcon goes to MRS. KLEINERT!
