⭐️Exciting News from Harlan Elementary ⭐️
Several dedicated teachers attended the "Get Your Teach On" conference in Charlotte, NC this weekend!
This incredible event gathers innovative educators from around the nation, providing them with tools, strategies, and inspiration to elevate our students' learning experiences!
We believe that investing in our teachers translates directly into enriched learning environments for our children.
We can't wait to see how they'll bring their newfound insights into our classrooms!

🐉📝Mrs. Overbay's class conducted an experiment to imitate how the adaptation of a thick layer of blubber protects polar bears from the arctic environment. The hand with the blubber glove represents a well adapted organism, a polar bear, that could survive in the harsh arctic conditions, and the hand without the glove represents an animal that cannot survive in the arctic. The students compared the two and constructed an argument about why the polar bears can survive better in their environment than other non-arctic organisms.
