The Kindergarteners had an exciting day on Friday! Last week, the students read Fabric of the Andes, which explained how fabric is made. Special guest, Carly Taggart, a former OABCIG student, stopped by and shared her expertise with the students. The kiddos were able to experience a Q & A conversation, and witnessed how to start a weaving. 💜🧶✨
