🎉 Monster Madness on Thursday, February 20th! 🎉
The monsters were delivered to their rightful homes (aka Mrs. Dixon’s first grade class)! Each student tried to figure out which monster was theirs by matching their unique designs. 🧐
Once all the monsters found their owners, Mrs. Uceny’s Personal Choices class brought the fun to life by reading the stories they created together! 📚✍️ It was awesome to see the first graders following along with the stories! 👏
The first graders absolutely LOVED their monsters, and there was so much pride and joy shared by the high school students who saw their hard work come to life! 😄🎉 #KittitasCoyotes
