Timmy says WELCOME BACK RAIDERS! Lakeside Middle 🐓

An incredible first day with our Ag Science students. We’re so excited to offer this high school credit opportunity to 91 amazing Lakeside Middle students who work hard and love all things Ag. We got right to work this morning making bouquets & taking care of a sick hen🐓💐

Students in our Ag science class design bouquets from the cut flower garden 💐 We’re getting ready to overhaul the summer gardens and roll into fall planting with all the yummy leafy greens.

These students had been planning for two weeks to make a bouquet of flowers for their CREW teacher on her birthday. 💐Today was the day and they were SO EXCITED to deliver this to her. Y’all, don’t count this age out— there are wonderful, thoughtful kids here. Lakeside Middle

Normalize giving teachers baby chickens for their birthday 🐓😀 Best. Surprise. EVER! So thankful for the best Ag students at Lakeside Middle Let’s keep adding to the flock 🐓🐓🎉

Eating their leafy greens 🥬 This dinosaur kale is delicious right out of the garden! It’s a good feeling when you see students run up to grab some veggies and start snacking on plants they’ve grown themselves! Lakeside Middle

When starting a new unit on chickens it’s important to work with real models. Michelle the chicken is looking fantastic in this excellent diagram by Aaron C in 6th grade!

When a student walks over to you with this Polish Frizzle and asks, “What is this?!” 🤣🤣 Fair question, but it’s just Shakira our newest member of the Lakeside Middle flock!

Chicken Run 5K was a success! Thank you to everyone who came out to support Lakeside Middle Ag program and our flock🐓🐓
