🦅We had such a fun and meaningful day in the library! Students learned all about the American Bald Eagle and why it became a symbol of strength and freedom for our country. We also explored the Great Seal of the United States. 🇺🇸
Then we wrapped up our lesson by watching Jackie and Shadow on the Big Bear Eagle Cam — the kids loved seeing real bald eagle behavior right from the nest!
📣 Reminder for Tomorrow — Wednesday Spirit Day!
✨ “Reading Across America”
Students are encouraged to wear a shirt from a place they’ve traveled (or any fun travel‑themed shirt!) as we continue celebrating Literacy Week.
