They are hoping to take a trip to the Henderson County Livestock Show in Athens this week. Her students will be setting up a science center and will go on a walk discovering nature.

They also have been busy learning how to write their numbers.

• Kindergarten — On March 16, kindergartners participated in the annual Kindergarten Rodeo. They took part in a number of rodeo events. These included a stick horse race, a boot hill race and steer roping. They also had cow patty and rattlesnake tosses. Pictures were taken of each cowboy and cowgirl. Kindergarteners were treated to hot dogs and a hay ride by Cayuga ISD Superintendent Dr. Rick Webb. In addition to the rodeo, students learned about the Texas symbols and made a book containing each symbol. Next, they will study the letter “V” and all about vegetables and volcanoes.
