The group, K9 Ambassadors, visited preschool yesterday to show them some dog tricks and teach them how to safely ask to pet a dog.
In honor of Election Day, preschool friends voted on the next dog president. They got to pick from the three dogs they saw at the K-9 ambassador presentation yesterday. In Miss Natalie‘s class the golden retriever, Stitch, won the race!!

Isn’t October the MOST fun time to be outside? 🍂 Second graders have been working hard at writing number stories to go along with number models. 🤓 They’ve also been learning a lot during Junior Achievement about different jobs in the community. They even had the chance to open their own pizza place and learned that it’s hard work to take orders, make the pizzas and get them delivered correctly to earn money! 💵 #lesinspire #misdinspire
REMINDER: There will be no classes on Friday, October 25! 🗓️

Students in KP used a cooperative learning technique called “quiz, quiz, trade” to practice letter sound identification. This learning structure encourages collaboration and active participation. It’s a fun, interactive way to reinforce skills. #lesinspire #misdinspire
