❗ No pigs were harmed in the making of this play 🐖
But our 'pigs' and 'wolves' did have a clever way to practice their reading and acting skills in their recent showcase of The Three Little Pigs.
Kindergarten performed for our prek and our littles in the ELC who were a great and captive audience! Great job Kindergarten on your performance!

Kindergarten students have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly lately. They were visited by Monarch loving, Sherry Krehbiel, author of "First Comes a Butterfly" and got to see Monarchs up close and even release them into the wild!
They learned BIG words like 'Metamorphasis' and 'Chrysalis' and the difference between a male and female Monarch.
What a joy to be able to put learning into tangible lessons like these! Thank you to our excellent Kindergarten teachers and guest speakers for making learning fun!
