Salem Ave. kindergarten classes sing about reading

On Feb. 28, the Salem Avenue kindergarten classes presented the program “In the Pages of a Book.”

Each of the five classes dressed in colors of the rainbow or animal characters.


The students performed songs such as, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Words” and “Punctuation Melody” that told about the elements of reading.

It was an enjoyable way to show off all the reading skills that they have developed throughout the year.

Thanks to teachers Vickie Kane, Sandy Melton, Sara Dillow, Debbie Grass and Lauren Pangborn for their hard work.
