Lake Park Elementary School

Second Grade students in Mrs. Cliett’s Discovery class are learning about the 12 days of Christmas. 🎄 Yesterday was the first day back and they learned about the partridge in a pear tree. Their challenge was to make a plan, use only 10 index cards and work together to build the perfect pear tree for their partridge. Did you know that partridges prefer an open field over living in a 🌳 tree? #learningatlpe
