The Discovery Club is made up of 36 to 40 first and second grade students. The club meets each Tuesday from 3:15 to 5:00.  Ms. Triplett, Ms. Stout, and Ms. Pennington plan

exciting art, craft, and game activities for the students each club meeting. These activities usually center around holidays or special events that are taking place that week.

In November the students studied Colonial America.  They enjoyed playing colonial games, and they even made a toy from that time period. A highlight was a tasting party, with grits, hominy, turnips, dried apples, but the favorite was Johnny cakes.

Making wooden reindeer was a fun December project. In January the club built snowmen as part of a Winter Wonderland project and enjoyed the story The Mitten. They laced a mitten and selected the bear character from the story and did an iron-on transfer on t-shirts.

During February students completed activities for Valentine's Day. Students enjoyed a celebration of Dr. Seuss' books for Read Across America Day in March, and learned the history of St. Patrick's Day, followed by making a shamrock dog.
