Yesterday, our middle school agriculture class had an amazing opportunity to visit Binghamton University and learn from students in the Bees and Maple Production class!
Our students learned about the biology of maple trees, the history of maple production, new technologies in syrup-making and about products that can be made from syrup. Our students even had the chance to make and taste their own maple ice cream!
A huge thank you to Binghamton University for this great hands-on learning experience for our CFMS students!

After reading "The Wild Robot" by Peter Brown, students in Mrs. Collier’s fourth grade class were inspired to creatively design and build a variety of projects. From board games to robots to watercolor paintings, each project was inspired by the unique characters and rich setting of the story.
When learning that the second graders in Mrs. Masters’ second grade class had also read the book, Mrs. Collier’s class welcomed them in to see the projects, providing a similar experience to visiting a museum. The second graders were all smiles as they learned about each project!
Mrs. Hantsch's Middle School Agriculture class had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs. Aukema and Ms. Peila for a special lesson on dog breeding and showing! This hands-on experience was a fun and engaging way for students to review genetics as they gear up for the state science test. It also introduced students to careers in animal care.
The best part of the visit was getting to play with adorable puppies!
