Inspired by the text, How Santa got his Job, our Kindergarten Scholars explored how trying various jobs helps a person learn new skills and narrow down the work they want to shape into a career. One of the positions Santa held was the job of a postman where he learned to navigate various weather fronts while delivering mail and packages. These artists painted some beautiful watercolor snowflakes that they dusted with salt to crystalize the surface. Great job kinders. #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars
