Churning Butter



Would you like some freshly churned butter for your Thanksgiving dinner?  Just ask a 2nd or 3rd grader to make you some.  With the help of Mrs. McGilvray, we learned to make our own butter in social studies today.

Life Long Ago

We learned a lot on our field trip to the Historic Arkansas Museum about how people lived long ago.  It was fun to try out churning butter, making wagon wheels, panning for gold, and much more.

CLS celebrated Red Ribbon Day on October 30.  We learned about the importance of saying "NO" to drugs.
