The Kindergarteners had a unit on Kings and Queens. They learned about royalty and countries ruled by Kings and Queens. They read royal stories: The Princess & the Pea, Cinderella, King Midas and the Golden Touch. There was a culminating activity called the Queens Quest where they participated in 4 challenges followed by a tea party. What a wonderful day in Kindergarten!
