Thank you, Shaina, Alicia, and Kristin, from Premier Dental, for visiting our Pre-K, Kindergartners, and 1st-graders and teaching them about dental health!

Her book can be found at https://www.amazon.com/Very-Wiggly-Tooth.../dp/B0BSWM2ZKK.
Our 2nd-graders had a blast celebrating 2/22! They enjoyed snacks that came in pairs, had a ton of two-themed activities, brought in pictures from when they were two years old, and enjoyed storytime with guest reader, Mr. Sheets, who read the book "Chickens Don't Wear Tutus!"

Mrs. Woods' class had a delicious introduction to Opinion Writing last week with an Oreo Taste Test! Which was their favorite Oreo, and why? Their writing had to have a beginning, middle, and end. Students stated their opinion, gave reasons to support their thoughts with examples in the middle, and restated their opinion again to sum them up.
