Just like the adults today, students got to cast their vote! 1S students voted for their favorite Reading Knowledge Unit so far. After they voted and turned in their ballots, they received an "I voted" sticker. Ask them all about it!

The Kindergarteners love hearing stories from Mrs. Dodson because she always makes the stories come alive!

The Kindergarteners love when their Rockin' Reader comes to visit each week. Today he read them a story and played games with them in the classroom.


The Kindergarten students had a special visitor today who taught them about germs and the importance of washing our hands to help us to stay healthy. The 4H instructor brought "glow-in-the-dark germs" for the students to practice their handwashing skills to help wash the germs away.
