Kindergarten was transformed into a kingdom recently as our kindergarteners explored the world of Kings and Queens!
Our little monarchs discovered that kings and queens are born into special royal families, their role is to rule the kingdom and look after their people, and that there are still some kings and queens in other countries today.

Our DK kids are having fun learning about graphs!
Some were surveying friends and recording their responses to questions like, "Which are more sour, lemons or lime?" and "Do you like chocolate or candy better?" They used graphs to help collect the data. They also had fun playing "roll a rainbow" to practice their graphing skills.
