Kye A. has met the challenge of "1,000 Books Before The End Of Kindergarten". Kye was always so excited to bring in his book log & select a book for his own library. He may have even hid a book in my office for the next time he came in! Great job to the Aden family!
On 5/1, GPS hosted the Gothenburg Preschool Track Meet. Over 70 children participated in a variety of super fun events. Such an exciting day for our "littles" in Gothenburg and a GREAT opportunity to bring all of our preschools together! More photos coming soon!
The kindergarten class visited the FFA Greenhouse yesterday! They are learning all about people and places in the community and a few weeks ago planted their own seeds in the classroom. The students are anxiously waiting for their seeds to grow into plants as beautiful as the ones they saw in "Ms. Kara's Flower Shop" (i.e. what the students affectionately call the FFA Greenhouse now :)). Thanks, Ms. Kara for the tour! We love it when our "big Swedes" can share a love of hands-on learning with the "little Swedes"!
As we enter the last few weeks of the school year, we have some more Dudley staff to meet.
