It was an out of this world celebration for about 70 kindergarten students at Riverton Elementary School. The students found some pretty steller success in literacy, mastering their letters and sounds by November 1, so they were treated to a space-themed party called “Planet Kindergarten.” All of the students wore astronaut looking helmets, hand-made out of brown grocery bags. They paraded through the halls of Riverton Elementary as classmates cheered them on, applauding their reading success. After the parade, the students headed to the gym for a dance party. “Planet Kindergarten” is a Districtwide initiative to inspire students to reach literacy goals.
Thanks to the kindergarten team and literacy coaches for recognizing student success in such a fun and engaging way. Congratulations, kindergarten students! Keep up the great work learning to read and loving literacy.
