On Thursday, November 16, the McKinney Christian Academy first graders participated in an activity called Corn Day. For Corn Day, there were 14 stations where the kids did an activity involving corn. They did activities such as corn painting, reading stories about corn, writing about corn, eating corn, and corn bowling. The student’s parents came down to the school to volunteer and help with all the activities. Michelle Carter, a parent of one of the students and a teacher’s assistant, said, “Corn day is such a fun first grade tradition. The students go through fourteen interactive stations learning all about corn. It’s a great day that parents get to volunteer at a station and work with all the kids.” Corn Day is an annual tradition for the first graders and their families around Thanksgiving.
The students listen to their teacher teach them how to do an activity.
