📚🧡 A message from Mrs. Ally - WES Kindergarten Teacher! 🧡📚 I’m so proud to announce that my Orange Crayon group has just finished their very first chapter book—Junie B. Jones! 🎉 It’s been such a joy watching their excitement grow with each chapter, and I hope you’ve heard all about our adventures this week! To celebrate, we played a fun True or False game today. We read facts about the book and sorted them onto the correct board—what a great way to show how much we’ve learned! Next, we’ll take our very first AR Test, a short comprehension quiz on iPads. I hope this is the start of a lifelong love for reading for each of my incredible kindergarteners! 🧡🧡🧡 Way to go, Orange Crayon group—you make me so proud! 🌟 ~Mrs. Ally
