🎃 Pumpkin Guts! 🍂
Mrs. Farren’s kindergarten class got hands-on with some ooey, gooey pumpkin fun! Students explored pumpkin seeds and pulp while learning through touch, talk, and teamwork. So many smiles (and a little mess)! 🧡

🎃 Sweet Sounds of Learning! 🍬
Our kindergarten and first-grade students are thankful for our amazing Speech-Language Pathologists, who led a fun and festive social lesson all about trick-or-treating! Students read a story, decorated their own treat bags, and practiced their trick-or-treating skills — learning kindness, communication, and confidence along the way. 🧡👻

🚒 A HUGE thank you to the East Moline Fire Department for an amazing day! 🤩

Our Kindergarteners absolutely loved meeting the firefighters and exploring a real fire truck! They had a blast learning all about what the EMFD does and got some super important fire safety tips.
