Having fun Learning
What's Going on in KA?
Within the past few weeks, we continue to work even harder throughout the day. We have been becoming more independent and taking on different roles in our classroom. We continue to work on our social emotional skills. We are learning how to handle our strong feelings by putting our Power Talk Steps to use. We role play different realistic scenarios that we may come across with our peers.
We have also been actively providing the much needed "fuel" for our trip to India! We love math and growing out Mathematician brains!
