Kindergarten Readiness

Readiness has had a busy end of March and April. Thank you to the West Elementary PIE group for our fun PIE field trip to the Dickinson County Nature Center and the Regional Wellness Center in Estherville at the end of March. We have been busy learning about different habitats along with the animals and plants that live in each. We enjoyed a trip to Willow Tree Garden Center and a visit from the Palo Alto County Naturalist to help us learn more!!
