Kindergarteners enjoyed Fun Friday extension activities for their Wit and Wisdom Module 1 study of “My Five Senses.” Students used four of their five senses to make and explore scratch and sniff paint. They also explored adjectives to describe their sense of taste with a taste test. Lemons and baker’s chocolate elicited some pretty funny faces.
Due to the current weather conditions, Pender County Schools is moving to an early release schedule. Additionally, all after-school activities have been canceled.
