From the Washington Preschool Times:
"The Preschoolers are so excited to have class pets! We have been learning how to take care of chicken eggs in our incubators every day. Yesterday, the students got to candle the eggs and we have 14 potential baby chicks that we may have! We will post them once they have hatched!" - Ms. Folchert

Mrs. Starostka in Kindergarten! Students said she’s the best teacher ever, they love her, and drew some very beautiful pictures!! Congratulations, Mrs. Starostka and keep getting your teach on! #WeRNPPS #WAWildcats
Wildcat families!! Today was a BIG day!! We combined Guidance and PE, with the help of our Resource teacher. It was our Inclusion lesson from last week, which was postponed due to the snow day.
We learned about 3 different areas in which friends may need some help - physical, sensory, and cognitive. Mrs. Simmons shared a bit of her story and how her teachers and friends made sure she was included as a teen.
Our goal is that our little Wildcats will learn to see when others need help participating and then find ways to help them join!
Check out the pictures on Facebook, as well as the North Platte Telegraph and KNOP News 2!
Happy Wednesday!! Washington's Kindergartners had some practice with their Easter egg hunting skills last week! Take a peek!
