Fourth grade went to Mountain Run Lake Park yesterday for their Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience field trip! Students participated in stations to learn and explore watersheds. They retrieved macro invertebrates (and other organisms) from a creek bed and determined the pollution level based on what they found. They also classified and named them using dichotomous keys. Students also identified producers, consumers, and decomposers during a relay race. Finally, they designed storm drain art to bring awareness to the importance of keeping our watershed healthy. Shout out to Culpeper 4H for leading our students through a watershed simulation to learn more about watersheds and demonstrate how we all live downstream! It was a great day!

Thanks to Mrs. Kilby, Ms Hughes and Mrs. Houck and Mr. Harris, the 4-H Embryology project really came to life this year! Our students got to watch the candling of our eggs, and witnessed our chicks hatching through a live feed set up for our students. All classes got to come up with names for our chicks that were voted on, and each class got to spend a little time with the chicks. What a fun couple of weeks it has been! See the attached pictures to get to know our chicks!

Yowell Elementary had a special visit from Culpeper 4H today! 🐥 Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Kilby gave an egg-cellent demonstration on egg candling, showing students how to see inside developing eggs. They also introduced us to two feathered friends, Sweet Pea and Sweetie Pie, who the students loved meeting and petting! 🐓 During the visit, we learned about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, and the students asked some fantastic questions—like what chickens eat, how incubator eggs differ from store-bought ones, and where the Yowell chicks will stay during spring break. A big thank you to Culpeper 4H for an egg-citing and educational experience! 🥚🐣🐓
