Early Childhood Education Junior, Jade Shook, had a lot of fun in her fourth grade placement today. Students in Mrs. Beech's 4th grade class have been learning about fossils and made their own replicas using shells and dinosaurs. Jade was able to assist with the messy but fun activity. Our ECE students have the opportunity to see the lessons taught by teachers come to life and learn how making learning fun is very important in the classroom.
