Preschool had a BLAST celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! The leprechaun traps were quite impressive—but unfortunately the sneaky little leprechaun tricked us all! ☘️ He left us some treats and an experiment to try. Maybe we’ll have better luck next year! 🤞🏼😊
Ms Erin’s preschool classes have been enjoying all of the Saint Patrick's activities over the last week!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Cardinal Elementary.
Kindergarten had fun learning about Sugar Snap Peas during our Pick-A-Better Snack learning today!
