Special Treat...

A group of 5th graders came to our room today and worked with the kindergarteners on their letter names, letter sounds, number id, sequencing, and even read some books to them.  WOW!  The kindergarteners and 5th graders were so engaged and excited to be working together.  Thanks 5th graders for visiting us today! :)  Hope you come back and visit us again soon!
