Necklace patterning! TK is fun!

Found this on Pinterest! It rings true for our teachers and myself as we are in our testing season. We are proud of our students and the work they have accomplished all year. It is time to show what you know. Remember, the most important lesson, is to stop worrying and relax. We love you. YOU ARE ENOUGH. 💙💛. Show what you know on our state assessments, CAASPP. You got this! We love you!
