🚒👮‍♀️🦷 Kindergarten choice time is full of creativity, imagination, and learning through play!

From community helpers like firefighters, police officers, and dentists to all the wonderful ideas our students bring to life, it’s so fun to see their imaginations at work! ❤️

Choice time is about so much more than play. Our students are building important skills like collaboration, communication, problem-solving, and sharing while learning alongside their friends.

We love seeing our youngest Falcons explore, create, and learn through play! 🦅💛❤️

Our kindergarteners had their first field trip of the school year today! 🚌💛

They had a great time at Frank Liske Park exploring all the park has to offer, spending time with their classmates, and building new friendships along the way. And, of course, riding the school bus was a highlight all on its own! 🚌😊

We have a feeling our kindergarteners are going to sleep well tonight! 😴💤

What a fun day for our youngest Falcons! 🦅
