📚 Kindergarten just wrapped up our Classic Stories unit! We've explored timeless tales like “The Three Little Pigs,” “Chicken Little,” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” and ventured into stories from around the world with "Momotaro, Peach Boy" from Japan and "The Story of Jumping Mouse," a Native American legend. Through these stories, we've learned about story elements and gained a deeper appreciation for the rich world of fiction across cultures! 🌍 #FalconStrong #TogetherWeFly
