You CRAN count on this fact,
Cranberries are bouncy
You can tell if a cranberry is ripe by seeing if it bounces. This unique characteristic is due to four tiny air pockets inside the berry. During harvesting, ripe cranberries are often sorted by being bounced down a series of barriers called “bounce boards.” Only the bounciest (and therefore ripest) ones make it to the packing house.

I have a secret to share,
Carved pumpkins were meant to protect against evil spirits
The tradition of carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween originated from an old Irish custom. People would carve turnips or potatoes with frightening faces and place them near doors and windows to ward off evil spirits, particularly during the Celtic festival of Samhain. When Irish immigrants arrived in America, they found pumpkins to be much easier to carve, and the tradition evolved.

Snack facts for today
Figs aren’t fruits, they’re flowers
That sweet, chewy fig isn’t a fruit in the traditional sense. It’s actually an inverted flower. The fleshy part you eat is called a “syconium,” a special cluster of flowers blooming inside the fig's protective casing. These flowers later develop into the fig’s crunchy little seeds. Tiny wasps play a crucial role in pollinating them.

Sixth-grade social studies students have been exploring ancient Greek culture, including the important role of myths. Last week, students read about the Trojan Horse and watched a video to deepen their understanding of the story. Today, they completed a mapping activity tracing the Greeks’ journey to Troy and examining how they gained control of the city.
Wethersfield, wear blue tomorrow!
🔥 Who shapes what we believe? To prepare for Fahrenheit 451, students partnered up to investigate censorship, book burning, and blacklisting. They examined evidence, challenged claims, and explored how knowledge, conformity, and the courage to question can shape individuals and societies.
