Students Learn About Octopuses
Students got a hands on learning experience with a real octopus! Over the Christmas holidays, students Sarah Doggett and Carly Rosenboom along with their friends Emery and Weston Kane, found a dead octopus washed up on the front beach. They saved the octopus corpse and brought it to school for other students to see. Dr. Wally Bubley, Natural Resource Specialist for the San Antonio Bay System, developed an interesting and informative learning session for the students at POC Elementary. He explained how an octopus can trap prey by changing it’s color and texture to blend in with it’s surroundings. Students also learned that one of the smallest types of octopus could fit on your finger tip. Dr. Bubley encouraged the students to touch the octopus specimen, look at it’s mouth the many suckers on each of its arms. Students and teachers learned a great deal and really enjoyed Dr. Bubley’s informative presentation. Thank you, Dr. Bubley!
Third Graders Plant Cabbages
Mrs. Haynes third grade class is participating in the Bonnie Plant Farm cabbage program. The program provides millions of cabbages to third grade students all across the country. Each student competes to see who can grow the largest cabbage. The cabbages supplied by Bonnie Plant Farm are the O.S. Cross variety, which is known for producing giant, oversized heads, making the process even more exciting for kids. Some kids have grown cabbages weighing more than 50 pounds! If you have any gardening secrets you want to pass along to one of our third graders, please let Mrs. Haynes know. The student winner in each state will receive a scholarship worth $1000. Let’s get growing!
Mrs. Haynes third grade class receives their cabbages from Bonnie Plant Farm representatives, Mr. Alberto Noriego and Mr. Sonny Hernandez.
