Each of these students received at least one green slip this month for displaying our three RRR's (Respectful, Responsible and Ready behavior). Way to represent our school community by showing these awesome attributes!
In Kindergarten STEAM, the students have been learning about solids, liquids and gases. At the end of the unit, they were rewarded with a Root Beer Float (other options were available). The price was one ticket with the correct naming of the solid, liquid and gas that were present in the float. Each day a special guest collected the ticket and made the floats.
