Last Friday the 1st Grades went on an amazing field trip to Tranquility Farms. We explored greenhouses, planted flowers, and went on a hayride. There were animals for us to see (even a striped donkey!) and there was a giant playground for them to play on after lunch. The classes wrote butterfly nonfiction books and had a great time learning about plants at Tranquility Farms! Everyone had a blast and we learned more about the life cycle of plants and how to take care of them."--The First grade Team

KDM Congratulates Students of the Month, Angelina Yan (1st grade ) and Elizabeth McNinch (4th grade ). Angelina is an excellent role model for her classmates. She is always willing to help out her teacher and other students in her class. Elizabeth works hard on any task she is presented with, helps others when asked to, quietly works independently, and works well in groups.
