Forest Elementary School

Our Kindergarteners in Mrs. Kitchen's class had a blast practicing the letter O with a fun, hands-on shaving cream writing activity! ✏️🫧 Interactive learning like this helps students strengthen letter recognition, practice proper letter formation, and build early writing skills—all while having fun! We love seeing our little learners explore, create, and grow each day. 💙 #BearcatSnaps 📸 #ForestElementary
