4th Grade Celebration - Unit 1 CKLA
Dear Pine Ridge Families,
It has been wonderful to see our students’ excitement grow as we explore our new CKLA language arts curriculum! Over the past two weeks, students have participated in engaging activities to celebrate unit completions and kick off new learning. The pictures above highlight just a few of the creative ways our teachers are bringing learning to life.
We look forward to sharing more of these exciting learning experiences with you!
Warmly,
Nathan Peltz
Principal, Pine Ridge Elementary
