Exciting NEWS!!!
I spent some time writing a classroom grant to give the students unique math and science opportunities in the classroom. We just found out that our grant was chosen to be funded! We want to send a special thank you to the Springfield Public Schools Foundation who funded our project. Because of their generosity, each child will have his/her own set of Legos from which to work through some creative problem solving challenges. We also will be receiving many math and science materials. We are so excited!!!
Classroom Visitors!
We LOVE visitors! If you ever want to come see what we’re doing please come for a visit. Many of the families want to see what kindergarten is like and we’d love to have you come visit!
