Welcome back!

Students started their day greeting friends and sharing stories in a sharing circle.

Thank you to today's reading Rock Stars

AM kindergarten: Emma shared a fun book called Moosetache. Students enjoyed guessing what fun things moose would try next.


PM Rock Star Brielle read Go Dog Go for her PM friends all by herself.  Awesome reading!

Table Time Learning:  Animal Investigations

Label the features of a porcupine: copying environmental print with accuracy
