After School Program kindergartners built a new chair for the three bears to use after the students read the original Goldilocks fairytale and compared it to a different version of the story where the bears did the damage. Preschool students read the book Creepy Carrots and then built a fence to protect their carrot from the Coding Critter rabbit!
