It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No-it’s 2nd grade! Students have been working hard this week to develop super skills in 3 digit addition. They’ve also been learning how their reading connects to them and have been making connections like Spider-Man!
In Pre-K, we carved our pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns. The kids were able to vote on how we wanted our jack-o-lanterns to look! Ms. Lisa did the honors of cutting the pumpkin open and talking with the kids about what we would see and feel. Each child had a chance to come look at, feel and smell the inside of the pumpkin. Some were more interested than others. We love how different both pumpkins turned out! Great job, Pre-K!

Thanks Ryan! #OlySpartanPride
