1st Grade State Fair
KSDS first graders embark on a journey across the United States with our State Fair program!
Each week, students bring home a new state topic to explore with their families, strengthening the home-school connection as they build their research skills. They create informative tri-fold boards, design creative state-themed shirts in our MakerSpace, learn songs celebrating different regions of the United States with their music teacher, and proudly showcase their learning to their families and classmates at the State Fair.
