Our Little Explorers are back! 🦙✨

Yesterday was the first day of our Little Explorers preschool class, and we’re kicking off a brand-new adventure through the alphabet!

A is for… ALPACA! 🦙

Our little learners got an extra-special introduction to the letter A with some real alpaca visitors from RedBird Willow Farm! We learned about these fluffy friends, got an up-close look, and finished the day with some alpaca-themed fun.

What do you think B will stand for next week? 👀

We love seeing learning come to life in the classroom! 🏹📚

Fourth-grade students at Cleburne County Elementary School recently explored Indigenous cultures with educational materials borrowed from the Anniston Museum of Natural History.

We’re always excited to see pieces from our educational collections helping students connect with history, culture, and the natural world beyond the museum walls. Thank you, Cleburne County Elementary School, for sharing these wonderful photos! ❤️
