Recently our elementary PE teachers, Mr. Flannery, Mr. McMullen and Mr. Paske, led a Strider Bike Unit for our PreK, kindergarten and first grade students. This balance first program helps young learners build coordination, stability, and essential gross motor skills before progressing to pedaling, making bike riding accessible and confidence building for all students. The students have been loving the experience, and we truly appreciate our PE teachers' efforts in bringing this opportunity to them.
Second grade students at CFE recently had a wonderful hands-on learning experience through an Agriculture in the Classroom literacy lesson which focused on seasons on the farm. With the help of high school agriculture students and Mrs. Linnea Depue, students explored how each season brings important changes that impact plants, animals, and daily life on a farm.
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.

Unfortuatley due to lack of ticket sales we have had to cancel the Donkey Basketball event previous scheduled for this Saturday, March 7.
During the month of February, CFE's second grader students enjoyed a unique and hands-on Agriculture in the Classroom experience that blended creativity, kindness, and learning! Students explored how vegetables grow and are used in ways other than eating by creating veggie valentines using okra and beets. These colorful creations were then shared as a small act of kindness, designed to bring a smile and spread cheer to someone else.
It was a fun and meaningful way for students to connect agriculture, art, and compassion, all while learning that even vegetables can help make someone’s day a little brighter.
