The 8-2 class worked on making knots today, including the square knot, farmer’s knot, and manger hitch knot. This was part of the Animals We Care For unit, where students are learning about how plants and animals depend on each other, how animals have helped advance human civilization, how humans selectively breed animals for particular purposes, how proper handling keeps both animals and humans safe, and how humans are responsible for caring for animals and meeting their needs.
AFC Student Council is hosting the "Giving Trees". Donations will be accepted December 1-15th.
