"Stop, Drop, and Read" was a total hit! Our Kindergarteners crushed it—they found the perfect books, grabbed their favorite stuffies, and tucked into cozy spots for some serious reading fun!
We invited some guest readers to come read us stories this month to celebrate March is Reading Month.
Our first guest reader was our school board treasurer, Ashlee McCormick. She shared a couple of fun Dr Seuss stories. She was impressed by our good listening skills. We love hearing good stories and she was a great reader!!
