🐾 The Izard County After School Program is bringing learning to life! In CKLA Knowledge, our kindergarteners explored Colonial trades like dressmakers, tailors, hatters, and cobblers—then put their skills to the test by making a dress, shoes, and a hat for our baby! They also extended their school-day learning with a hands-on lesson in dental health, practicing how to clean teeth with dental floss. So much creativity and real-world learning at the After School Program! 🐾
