Healthy habits start small! 🍎🥦 Our little learners in Mrs. Miller’s class have been busy stocking up at their classroom grocery store this week. 🛒 There’s nothing quite like watching these "mini-shoppers" take their health so seriously! From picking out the brightest peppers to bagging up those pretend apples, they’re learning that eating well can be a total blast. 🌈✨ Way to go, Mrs. Miller’s class! Future grocery pros in the making! 👩‍🏫🧺#theknightway #onecommunity

Our PreK students had a wonderful first visit to the library today! Mrs. Davis brought The Little Mouse, The Red Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear to life with fun, interactive movements that our students loved. From nibbling strawberries as mouse to stomping like the big hungry bear, it was a magical experience for our early readers! 📚🍓🐭🐻#theknightway #onecommunity

🥕🍎🛒 Mrs. Whited’s preschoolers have been having a blast learning all about health and nutrition! From sorting healthy and not-so-healthy foods to going grocery shopping and splashing around with alphabet soup, our little learners are building healthy habits while having tons of fun! 💚🍲✨#theknightway #onecommunity
