📚✨ Meet the incredible teachers who make up our Jay Shideler Elementary team—we can't wait for another amazing year! 💙
Our final day of Kindergarten Bootcamp was a success! These newest Blue Jays are ready for Kindergarten in a few short weeks! 💙
Our Kindergarten Bootcamp is off to a great start! 💙
Today our future Blue Jays practiced lining up, traced shapes, enjoyed teacher read-alouds, explored with STEM buckets, and started building new friendships along the way. 📚✏️🧩
We can’t wait for another day of learning, laughter, and fun! 💙🐦
Day 3 of Kindergarten Bootcamp was definitely a favorite—Bus Ride Day! 🚌💙
Our kindergarteners practiced how to ride the school bus safely, learned the importance of staying seated, using quiet voices, and following the bus driver’s directions. The best part? Getting to sit by friends and experience a fun bus ride together!
We’re having so much fun learning, growing, and getting ready for an amazing school year! 💙✨
