Fridays usually deliver the unexpected, and last week was no exception.

Jack's dad works for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and he stopped by the classroom during science toting a gopher tortoise and a corn snake.

Milo and his classmates explored living texture, while Mr. Elliott described the longleaf pine ecosystem.

Later in the year we will explore habitats of Georgia, and animal/plant adaptations. Friday's impromptu preview was an exciting end to a long week. Click here to learn more.
