It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the incredible individuals who’ve shaped our history. Let’s keep the celebration going!

Our students embraced the 12 Days of Reading Challenge over Winter break, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate their achievements! Last week, we recognized their hard work, and some students even earned the chance to choose a new book from our book vending machine! 📚

📚 In reading, they explored and retold multiple versions of the story.
➗ In math, they graphed and tasted different gingerbread flavors.
🔬 In science, they observed and predicted what happens when a gingerbread cookie meets water.
🎨 In writing, they crafted "Lost Gingerbread Man" posters and mapped his escapades based on family updates.
Exciting twist—our Gingerbread Man was spotted on the school camera running away! Keep an eye out and help us bring him home! 🗺️✨ #GingerbreadMan #KindergartenAdventures #CreativeLearning #MorganMavericks #WSFCS
