Mrs. Holmquist’s 1st grade STEAM students became young scientists this week! 🧠🕵️♀️
Using magnifying glasses and digital microscopes, they explored the hidden details in rocks, leaves, flowers, fossils, feathers—and even classroom objects! 🌿🪨🦴
But the biggest excitement? Seeing a cricket and a box elder bug up close! 😲🐞🦗
Their curiosity was off the charts!
