Many 1st Grade classes enjoyed taking their final seasonal nature walk to the land lab last week. The spring weather could not have been more beautiful! Everyone enjoyed using their senses to notice and wonder about their surroundings, and will enjoy putting the final touches on their year-long season projects in class coming up! #BethelLegacy
