🎭 Learning Through Puppets! 🧠💛 Ms. Hendrix and Mr. Allen’s Pre-K class participated in a special Zoom call with Bright from the Start and other Pre-K classes to watch a fun and engaging puppet show about feelings! Students learned new techniques to stay calm when feeling upset, stressed, or sad, and they even had the chance to interact and answer questions throughout the show. We absolutely enjoyed the experience and look forward to more meaningful moments like this! 🎉🧸 #ClaxtonElementary #PreKLearning #SocialEmotionalLearning #PuppetShowFun #BrightFromTheStart #CESProud #ReadySetGrow
