Tuesday, May 2, the Mintonye second grade classes had the opportunity to explore nature and work with some awesome McCutcheon science students. Mrs. Abby Bymaster and her student's provided the second graders with instruction about plants, trees, water, and wild life. The second graders went on trails, made animal prints, competed in the garlic mustard challenge, climbed hills, and explored the creek.

Second grade teachers were worried about the possibility of some rain but there was no rain! It was a little bit chilly on that Tuesday, but the students never complained. Everyone had a great day and the Mintonye students not only learned a lot but they made some great friends!
