Students in Terrie Weinacker’s first grade class, at Daphne East Elementary, recently discussed the life cycle of an oak tree.  In reading, students read the story, Dot and Jabber and the Great Acorn Mystery.  In the story the characters try to determine how an oak tree grew so far away from other oak trees.  Students conducted their own research to discover that acorns are seeds for oak trees.  They also learned that animals, like squirrels, will carry an acorn far from the oak tree and bury it.
