Mrs. Creswell's Kindergartners sat waiting for a reader to come,
And then a 5th grader guest reader enteredโoh boy, what fun!
She opened the book and the story took flight,
Filling the room with delight, bright and light.
The Cat in the Hat gave a tipโtap and cheer:
โReading togetherโs the best time of the year!โ
Then he twirled his tall hat as he said with a grin:
โWhen friends share a story, the magic begins!โ
Kindergarten is enjoying celebrating some Dr. Seuss stories and special dress up days this week!

The House of Hope Traveling Garden Visits Hobe Sound Elementary! ๐ฅ๐ผ
This week, all of our students in VPK through 5th grade had an exciting hands-on learning experience as Ms. Amanda brought the House of Hope Traveling Nutrition Education Garden to our campus!
