Mrs. Sanders’ 1st graders had so much fun counting to 20 with number blocks. 🧩✨ Hands-on activities like this make learning come to life—kids can actually see and feel the numbers, which helps it “click” so much faster. 💙

Teamwork in action! During Library specials, students had fun playing "Can you save Fred?" Using only paper clips, they worked together to rescue a gummy worm named Fred by getting his peach ring life preserver on- without letting him fall into the "water". No spearing allowed! Great job showing teamwork and problem solving skills 💪🛟🪱
