Fun things are happening in Ms. Ashley Overbay’s 3rd-grade science class! Students have been studying the life cycle of plants and animals. During this process, they have furthered their knowledge by learning the germination process of tomato plants and growing their own. Students have also taken part in monitoring the 21-day incubation process and studying the life cycle of chicks. 🐣🐥🪴

The PRI FSCS SSU Grant treated Harlan Elementary Families to a fun-filled evening of painting with Willing Hearts from Cumberland, Ky. The artist used mathematical shapes, fractions, and more to help students create their masterpieces! Every participant took home their own canvas artwork! We are excited to welcome them back tomorrow evening for another night filled with fun! 🎨🖌️
Mrs. Varner’s class studied the structure and properties of matter by investigating to answer the question, “Are bubbles always round?” Students enjoyed spending time outside to conduct their investigation! 🫧🫧
