These students at Atkins Elementary are putting so many important skills to work as they build words! From recognizing letter patterns and connecting sounds to letters to problem-solving and working together, they're strengthening their literacy skills through hands-on learning.

We love seeing our young Bobcats engaged, thinking, and growing as readers and writers! 💙💛
