👟 Second graders took a walk through town last week to explore the community and enjoy a bright spring day. These Lion leaders deserved a nice break after their end-of-year testing preparation.
The second graders walked to Gravette Upper Elementary, the Gravette Museum, and Arvest. Their route also included stops at Airplane Park, Henzie Art Studio, and the Gravette Public Library. They got to see how these familiar locations operate and meet the people who work there.
Thank you Jennifer Davis for capturing these memories and sharing the story of their adventure. Experiences like this build strong connections. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
This experience introduced first graders to practical life skills by turning a necessary adult process into a fun activity. After the lesson, each child chose a vehicle and signed an official title of sale to complete their purchase. They got to bring home their own toy car with the paperwork to match!
These early lessons in planning and real-world processes help explain the world we live in while connecting classroom learning to our community partners. Thank you Mr. Freeland from Adventure Subaru for visiting our school and congratulations to these young buyers for their first ever vehicle purchase! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
