2nd Graders get Lesson on China

Our 2nd Graders study China during one of their Social Studies units.
One of our 3rd grade parents, Mrs. Hempley, came in a few weeks ago and shared her first hand experiences
with all of our classes in the CAES Cafeteria.


She brought many items that illustrated components of the Chinese culture


 Students were able to pose questions to Mrs. Hempley.


THANKS to Mrs. Hempley for giving her time to our students!!!!
