This is a big year for our students as we get used to coming to school. Students will learn how to be positive community builders. We work together to show kindness and respect for others. Our exciting year is full of hands-on projects where we get to explore and be curious. Kindergarteners will focus on writing the alphabet and knowing the sounds that each letter makes to reading decodable books and learning all the gifts God has given us.
