🌱📚 2nd Grade “Jack and the Beanstalk” Fun! 🌱📚 Our 2nd graders have been busy bringing Jack and the Beanstalk to life with their very own planting projects! Each student planted seeds and is excitedly waiting to see if their beanstalks will grow tall and strong. 🌿✨ Parents: These projects will be coming home once they (hopefully!) sprout, so you can plant them and continue the fun at home. 🌼
