Another busy, happy week in Kindergarten , with some learning along the way!<\/p>\n
We talked for a little bit about today’s “special event.” \u00a0Only one student knew that we were getting a new President today. \u00a0WE talked about Presidential terms, reminded them about last November’s election, etc. \u00a0You might get some questions at home tonight.<\/p>\n
