Students also participated in a scavenger hunt on our Nature Trail. They had to find and collect several items including 2 types of seeds, 4 different kinds of leaves, a pinecone and other items from nature. Students were also equipped with an iPad mini. Students used the iPad to photograph items that were too big to bring back to the classroom. Items included a small tree, the tallest tree, a spider's web, a small animal habitat, a photo of your favorite vegetable, etc. It was a fun learning opportunity! Here's a peek!

3rd Grade Nature Trail Scavenger Hunt
3rd graders began their morning in the outdoor garden. We were measuring our cabbage plants to see how much they've grown. The data collected was charted on our Vee map in the hall. Before planting our Bonnie Cabbage plants, each student made a prediction as to which growing conditions were best for the cabbage. Choices were water only, water & fertilizer, water & compost, and water & plant food. Today, students added their fertilizer, compost, and plant food. Every plant was watered. Wish us luck!

Learning @ Local History
Several classes at Gilbert Elementary have been fortunate to receive a visit from the Living and Learning Museum of Walker County. Mr. Don Coleman visited third grade students on May 23. Students were amazed by all the exhibits from the "trunk". They saw a gramophone, an early record player, that still works! Students observed and interacted with several artifacts from the past. Mr. Coleman taught us to count to five in Cherokee. We learned lots of interesting fact about our local culture and history.
Thank you, Mr. Coleman and the Living and Learning Museum of Walker County!
