What a day! Kindergarten teachers marvel at how little our students are at the beginning of the year and how rewarding it is to see them transform into successful learners ! Such growth in one year and such satisfaction from being a part of it! I LOVE KINDERGARTEN!

It’s partner reading time and the buzz is beautiful!

This is our favorite Greeting activity of Morning Meeting! Warning… if you get trapped in the middle it may take a while to escape!

Fascination with Native Americans leads to many questions. K Social Studies curriculum is so rich and learning about “ Long Ago” is one of their favorite subjects! We love Kindergarten!

Reading and Writing aren’t the only lessons taught in Kindergarten!❤️ Abingdon APS

Encouraging daily reading over our break calls for a hook…a finger light tool should do the trick!

Call to action! Whether it's your kids, grandkids, or spreading this message! Make reading to kids a priority this coming year. #read #familyliteracy #literacy
