Our soon-to-be kindergarten students were able to register for kindergarten, complete their kindergarten screening, take an adorable Signing Day photo, and meet some of the friendly faces they will see this fall at CFE. We loved welcoming our future kindergarten students and celebrating this exciting milestone with them!

The students then spent part of their recess spreading flower seeds and bird seed around to help the animals and plants on our school grounds, as well as picking up trash they found around the campus.
For stations the students made Earth Day crowns to wear and water colored Earths. They also spent time talking about how we can keep our Earth clean and healthy by being mindful of pollution, overuse of resources and our impact on our surroundings.
The pre-K class finished their day by sending home planted grass that they have been caring the last few weeks, so that they can share their experiences with the process at home.

They planted their own seeds and learned what living things need to grow and thrive throughout the year. In the classroom, to bring their learning to life, students also designed creative “seasons wheels,” showing how farms change from season to season.
Thank you Cornell Cooperative Extension-Broome County for this engaging lesson, which connected literacy and science, in honor of Ag Literacy Week, and gifting the CFE library with the book "Seasons on the Farm" by Chelsea Tornetto and illustrated by Karen Bunting.
