🌈 Learning Through Stories in Pre-K! 🌈
Our Pre-K kiddos were thinking about Dolly Parton this morning and were curious to learn more about her. Mrs. Hyatt took the perfect opportunity to open a book and share I Am a Rainbow by Dolly Parton. 📚✨
As Mrs. Hyatt read, the students listened, engaged, and explored Dolly’s message about feelings and the colors that can represent them. What a sweet way to turn their curiosity into a meaningful learning moment! 🌈💛
