Peers, teachers, parents, and administrators cheered on kindergarten students at Ridge View Elementary as they prepared for a voyage to “Planet Kindergarten.” Jordan District’s Planet Kindergarten initiative launches students into literacy through engaging space-themed activities and reading goals. Students decorated space helmets, teachers dressed as astronauts, and the administration wore inflatable raptor astronaut costumes to ensure that the start of their mission to learn letter sounds and shapes was a fun and memorable experience.
