Learning About Horses

Modesty's mother and grandmother came in and taught us all about horses. We are preparing for Kentucky Night, where we will be presenting all that we've learned about horses and the Kentucky Derby. We learned how to groom and ride horses. We learned what horses eat. We learned that there are MANY different kids of horses. We also got to see a real saddle! A big "THANK YOU!" to Modesty's family!

Koral and Modesty check out a tool used to groom horses.

Grandparents Day!

The Kindergarten classes celebrated Grandparents Day on October 1 at Highland. Thank you Mrs. Taylor (music teacher) and Mrs. Honeycutt (Family Resource Coordinator) for all of their hard work on this special day! The kindergartners sang four songs and then got to eat breakfast with their grandparents. Grandparents were invited to see the kindergarten classrooms at Highland after breakfast. Thank you to all the grandparents, parents, and other family members who came to support their kindergartners on this special day!
