My Project

Our Kindergarten team values the importance of teaching our students about the world around them. We are all unique and have something valuable to add to our classroom family. Books are a tool that can open the door for beautiful classroom discussions, projects, and learning opportunities.

Each week we focus on one topic or character trait by reading, discussing, and doing activities that allow each student to make real life connections to the story.

The students love to learn about each other and how they can make a difference in our world.
