Last week, our kindergarteners (and a team of volunteers and teachers) braved the wind for an egg hunt on the playground! 🥳🎉
Mrs. Robbert's Kindergarten class found words hung throughout the commons so they could "write the room". The words were differentiated based on the skill the student was learning. Clipboards in hand, they got right to work!
These Kinder and 1st grade teachers were awesome today! Fact Fluency Discussions, Workplace Games, and Assessments! Our students are beyond lucky to have all of you! #dg58pride
