VES Fall Parent Nights!

Kindergarten classes studied the letter "J". Students tasted both grape and strawberry jam on toast and decided which flavor they liked best. Then, students colored a picture of their favorite jam. Classes had so much fun learning and having a sweet snack!

Kindergarten recently read "Should I Share My Ice Cream?" Students made their own cones and played a game where students "shared their ice cream" with their friends. Classes learned that sharing is caring! (Ms. Z's class is pictured.)
