Goosehill Literacy Picnics & Turtle Release Day!

What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the year! Goosehill hosted two Literacy Picnics for both first grade and Kindergarten. Students invited family members to read together on cozy blankets and enjoy snacks and friendships outdoors on the lawn and indoors on a rainy day - Adorable!
 
Fish Hatchery Turtle Release Day:
The School District continues its long-standing relationship with our neighbors at the Fish Hatchery & Aquarium, including field trips to visit the turtles and warm water fish and amphibian life. As part of Goosehill’s science curriculum, each first-grade class is delivered their very own turtle in the fall provided by the Fish Hatchery each year. Fish Hatchery Educator, Krissy Forman, teaches the students how to care properly for these turtles which are then released during a spring field trip into the ponds. On June 6, Ms. Forman greeted the students and their turtles again, as they waved goodbye to their tiny friends, where they watched them swim away back into their natural habitat and new home. classes waved goodbye and wished the turtles a happy new life in their new pond.
