Our kindergarten and first-grade students have been working hard in PE/Health to master the skill of tying their shoes! Once they successfully tie their shoes, they earn a new pair of shoelaces and a spot on the “Shoe Tie Train” wall to celebrate their achievement.
Our 5th graders are excited to start their ukulele journey in music class! They’re learning basic chords, strumming techniques, and how to play simple songs. It’s a great way to build musical skills and have fun making music together!
