🎃 Students from Mrs. Humbles' class explored pumpkins this week! 🌟 We are learning to explore the world around us and share what we have learned. 📚✨ There were mixed reactions to the inside of the pumpkins, but everyone enjoyed looking, listening, and sharing… just maybe not touching! 👀👐😊


Book character day was so amazing—teachers had as much fun as the kinders!!


Retelling a story is an essential beginning for becoming a reader. Book character day allowed for so much empowerment for our students. Ask your child to retell a story and watch how they shine while doing it!!




Congrats to Ms. Baxter's classroom for getting 20 days of perfect attendance. They celebrated by getting to pick something out of Ms. Debbie's Prize Cart.
