Scholars and staff kicked off the season in style, showing off their festive holiday hats and spreading cheer throughout the building! 🎄✨
Scholars in Mrs. Moser's PreK classroom had an exciting day painting pine cones and coding ozobots.
After learning about traditions, Kindergarten scholars in Mrs. Cash's & Mrs. Carr's class created a SPOON of THANKS to show gratitude. Each scholar is to take the spoon and put it on the table for Thanksgiving. The spoon is to be passed around with the holder sharing who or what he/she is thankful for. We hope this will be the start of a new tradition for our Kindergarten scholars and their families.
Kindergarten scholars in Mrs. Cash's & Mrs. Carr's class made edible turkeys to celebrate Thanksgiving! They enjoyed this special treat!

Kindergarten scholars listened to the story "Turkey Trouble." Then they programed the ozobot to move to the events in the story in the correct order. This was a fun an engaging way to practice sequencing story events.
