Pre-K's morning classes have been doing some big things since coming back from Christmas break! Ryker from Mrs. Braden's morning class has read 400 books and Sloan from Mrs. Braden's morning class has read 600 books! Leo from Mrs. Steel's morning class is at 900 books! These kids have been working so hard to reach their 1,000 books before Kindergarten goal!
