Central-Denison Elementary School
Mrs. Mandli’s Kindergarten Class at Central-Denison Elementary School played a new twist on the game "headbands". Each kindergartener had a sight word on their headband while the class walked around to print the words that they read on their friends' heads. By the end, students could figure out what word was on their head because there was only one word left! Such a fun learning game!
