Ms. Kaplan's second grade had a deliciously fun learning experience today!
After reading Where on Earth Is My Bagel?, students used our outdoor classroom and went on their own tasty adventure.
Hands-on learning (and a little taste-testing!) made this book come to life in the best way. We love seeing our students excited about reading and trying new things!
