We’ve been counting down the days to winter break by playing Reindeer Games at the end of every day! So far we’ve played a Holiday Movie Kahoot, Bag of Treats, a student created Blooket, had a snowball fight (with paper balls!), and had extra recess! Building community is 🔑

This is important! 🙌 📷 AdventuresInKinder
