Happening Tomorrow!!
Kindergarten had the preschool come visit and learn about numbers letters and centers.
Preschool learned a fun new game this week. Roll and Erase. Lots of excitement as they got to roll the "big" dice and race to erase their numbers they rolled off the Smartboard. Most of the students went from having to count the dots on the dice each roll to knowing right away what they rolled. This game is definitely a keeper!
Artist of the Week!
