Mrs. Riley's 2nd grade class is playing a math game called "Get your numbers in order". These Panthers are working to make 3 digit numbers and then put them in order Least to Greatest! Great job showing that math mathematical, thinking!

Rainbow Day in PreK-3 was full of colorful activities! We sorted colors and counted while making rainbow necklaces. We hung up balloons and took our pictures and we even made rainbows using marshmallows and colored circles! The most delicious part was making our own rainbow cupcakes! This year we celebrated one color every month, and it was a great way to end our color celebrations with all of the colors!
