Ms. Emmite and her students took learning beyond the classroom with a walk around town to explore how trash sometimes ends up in our local waterways. 🌧️🌎 They began by creating a topographic map and spraying water to simulate rainfall, allowing students to observe how trash travels through the landscape and into waterways. A great hands-on lesson in environmental responsibility! #PantherPrideInTheClassroom @ Palmyra Middle School

Our 4th grade PACE students recently participated in the National Geographic Explorer Classroom Wildlife Series!
Students were able to Zoom with National Geographic scientists and complete activities about wildlife! They were selected TWICE to ask questions to the scientists during the live sessions, and clips of their questions were highlighted in the celebration at the end of the series. National Geographic sent the kids stickers and certificates, as well as a cool set of bird playing cards for the classroom.
Way to explore, Panthers! 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom
