This last week was all about imagination! Kids use their imagination all the time during free play, whether they're building a city from blocks or feeding a baby doll a snack.

Yesterday the Blue Jays talked all about cooperation and worked with a partner to build a bed for a troll. Great job showing cooperation, Blue Jays! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

Ms. Kim and the Foxes read The Snowy Day and sang a song about snowflakes while they moved their snowflakes around. Ms. Kim said this guarantees we get snow! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes
