The current curriculum theme is exercise. The teachers have included a sports element and on Friday, 1/17, Room 102 (SH 3s) brought bowling into the classroom! The kiddos had a blast rolling the ball, being an enthusiastic audience, and helping reset the pins. It was such a fun and engaging experience for everyone!
