Around Amity Elementary
In Kindergarten we kicked off the Amity Right to Read week by celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday. Our Kindergarten students, read their favorite Dr. Suess books and learned about all the great characters in the stories. They made hats just like the one "Cat in the Hat" wears. Kindergarteners had fun talking with just rhyming words and making up new silly rhyming words.
   This week Amity’s green team learned more about recycling and how to help the environment. The county’s representative showed them how to turn the plastic containers from the lunch room into shrinky dinks.
