1st Graders have been studying “A World of Books” in Module 1 of Wit & Wisdom ELA, and to enhance their knowledge of mobile libraries they had a special visit from the Bookmobile! Each student got to learn about the library and how the Bookmobile operates, and also checked out a book to keep in the classroom for reading time! Thank you to the Troy-Miami County Public Library, and to our teachers, for making this special event happen! As one student’s shirt said, “Having fun isn’t hard when you have a library card!” #BethelLegacy

This quarter in Wit & Wisdom, our youngest learners have been exploring their five senses and discovering how they help us learn about the world around us. To bring their lessons to life, students took a virtual field trip to Rocky Mountain National Park for the Sense-a-tional Rocky program!

Alongside a park ranger and their new friend Kaylee the Coyote, they journeyed through the park and practiced using all five senses to explore the great outdoors.

We love seeing our students connect classroom learning with the real world! Great job, kindergarten!
