🏁💙 Sea Kings are RACING to Proficiency! 🧡🏁 First grade took a little trip to the park… without ever leaving the classroom! 🌳🛝☀️ Our little learners worked together to put sentences in the right order and piece together a park story. 🧩📖 Along the way, they practiced sequencing, teamwork, and making sure their story made perfect sense! Learning + teamwork + a little park fun = first grade magic! ✨🧡💙🧡
