We’ve been talking about reptiles and how they shed their skin when they grow. The kids painted a snake earlier this week and have been waiting patiently for them to dry. Finally, they got to shed their snakes skin. 🐍 @MatthewMillerpe

First Grade got to meet a very special author today. Mrs. Maguire wrote a book called Wormy Story all about the importance of Self-Esteem. The kids loved the story and were excited to have their own class book.
