Team Shout Outs and Smiles!!
SHOUT OUT to April Rice –She has done a fabulous job of preparing lessons to support so many of our ELAR TEKS. Our Bears always enjoy their time in the library because not only do that get to check out a new book at each visit, but they know they will get to participate in an exciting hands on activity as well! Thank you for making reading so fun for our kiddos! ---Kinder Team
From April Campbell (parent)
This morning on the way to school, my son (Bradley Campbell) was talking about all the reasons he loves his teacher, Mrs. R.
Then he says "I also really love Mrs. Rowell because she helped me clean the mud off my hands and shoes when we came in from recess."
It melts my heart to know that not only is my son loved and cared for by Mrs. R, but the other kindergarten teachers also take the time to help students, even if they are not in their specific class.
So THANK YOU kindergarten teachers for all your hard work and dedication to our babies!
THANK YOU for ALL of these SHOUT OUTS!! OUR team is the BESt!!!
