Students in the K2 class enjoyed a memorable surprise this week as part of the school’s celebration of Dr. Seuss Week. Mrs. Shonni Montgomery and Mrs. Rachel Latham paid a special visit to the classroom for story time, bringing along a very special guest—a baby lamb.
The visit gave students the chance to experience storytelling in a unique and exciting way. As the class gathered to listen, the baby lamb quickly became the star of the morning, capturing the children’s attention and sparking curiosity and excitement.
