Hello Kinder! I hope you all had a restful fall break. Welcome to Q2. We are very excited to have more scholars joining us in the classroom. To our DL students, we can't wait to see you in the classroom as well.
Joke of the week:
A squirrel, a bird, and a monkey are racing to the top of a coconut tree. Who will reach the banana first?
Last weeks answer:
She asked him if he was asleep and he answered "yes" so he was clearly lying.
Did you guess correctly?

And the dish ran away with the spoon.
