Our 1st-grade students had an exciting adventure on their field trip to Kaleideum today! 🚌✨
They explored hands-on exhibits, engaged in interactive learning, and had tons of fun discovering new things. It was a day full of curiosity, laughter, and memorable moments! 🌟
Mrs. Simmons’ class took a sweet journey into history today! 🍭🎲
After reading about the origins of the board game Candy Land, students were challenged to create their own board games. They came up with a unique theme and title, determined how to win, chose the number of players, listed materials needed, and wrote their own rules. What a fun way to mix creativity, critical thinking, and a little bit of nostalgia!
