With expanded characters, new songs, and more thrills, this new adaptation of the beloved story will open up “a whole new world” for you and your whole family!


First Grade students have been working through a unit on Economics. They learned all about Jobs, Income, Needs & Wants, Spending & Saving, Supply & Demand, Goods & Services, and Producers & Consumers. As a final project, they developed stores of their own and hosted a "Mini Mall" where they sold their Goods & Services to classmates and school staff. Slime, plants, bracelets, shoulder massages, hair styling, and manicures were among the offerings at the mall. It was an exciting week and a great opportunity for them to connect their learning to a real world situation!
