February is National Children's Dental Health Month, a month-long observance that promotes good oral health for children. Janie from Oyler Family Dentistry came in to speak to Mrs. Steiner's preschool students and promoted the importance of brushing and flossing their teeth. She showed them X-rays, and each student went home with a care bag.
First grade students in Mrs. Showalter's class are working on building their fluency!

❄️ First Grade Fun with Snowflake Bentley! ❄️
Last week, our first graders dove into the story of Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin! 📚✨ They learned about Wilson Bentley, the amazing American photographer and meteorologist who was the first to capture the beauty of snowflakes in stunning detail. ❄️📸
