Class Highlight of the Week
Kindergarten Cooks to Learn!
As the students in Kindergarten learn their letters and sounds, we like to participate in activities that are related to it. In the photo shown, a student is cooking pancakes with the assistance of our amazing aide, Miss Rhonda! The letter of the week was "C", so we were Cooking panCakes. Not only did the students enjoy a tasty snack, but they also gained a life skill of cooking!
