Kindergarten having fun, being creative and loving art class!!

In PE, our 3rd grade students are working on all things basketball 🏀 while getting a great workout in the process. They are practicing multi-step directions, strengthening their hand-eye coordination, building teamwork skills, and most importantly, having FUN while staying active! 💪 In Music, students were engaged in interactive games while learning their music notes 🎶. What a fun and meaningful way to build foundational music skills! It’s always exciting to see learning come alive through movement, rhythm, and play.
