Jokes of the Week and Some Fun Facts
Each Friday we tell a joke or two on morning announcements. Jokes are a great way to help build vocabulary and have a little fun! If your child has a joke to share, have them write it down and bring it to the office. It might get chosen to share on the morning announcements!
