Last week, Kindergarten students celebrated the end of their CKLA Knowledge unit on Kings and Queens.
Students worked together to complete an escape room. Each team completed activities and earned letters. Once they had all the letters it spelled a word and that was the code to save the queen from the dragon.
Yesterday, was a great day to cuddle up with a good book. Students in Mrs. Canada's class had a little more fun reading with flashlights.
It's time for Kindergarten Screening.
