According to Kindergarten teacher Amanda Pettygrove, “We have 13 fun, curious kindergarteners. They love learning new things!”

Their class has been busy this year learning to read and to count.  Pettygrove adds, “This month we have been learning about landforms, animal habitats, buying items using pennies and dimes, measuring length and weight, and we will begin writing our very first story about what we want to be when we grow up.”
