🔢✨ Math Fun in Mrs. Howard’s Kindergarten Class! ✨🔢 Today, our kindergarten mathematicians explored the pattern of 1 more in the forward counting sequence! Students used visual models and counting strategies to discover that as we count forward, each number is 1 more than the number before it. We practiced counting from 1 to 10, looked for patterns, and shared what we noticed and heard along the way. Our little learners are becoming such great mathematicians! 💕📚🔢 Way to go, Mrs. Howard’s Kindergarten Class! 🌸✨

📚🔥 The Literati Book Fair is coming to Harlan Elementary! 🔥📚 Get ready to cozy up with a good book! Our campfire-themed Book Fair will be October 26–30. Students will have the opportunity to shop for new books and discover exciting new stories throughout the week! 📖✨ 🌲 Family Night: Monday, October 26 ⏰ 5:00–7:00 PM Families are invited to come shop the Book Fair together! We can’t wait to fill those bookshelves and get our Dragons reading, dreaming, and discovering! 🐉💚📚
