Teamwork! The kids had fun working together to build beginning sound puzzles, saying the letters and sounds as they worked! Creekside ECS #WEareLakota #NeedtoSucceedCECS

It's said that "it takes a village to raise a child". Teachers are a HUGE part of that village with the role of educating every child and preparing them to be productive members of the community! Creekside ECS #WEareLakota #NeedtoSucceedCECS

So true. 🧡
