Welcome, Prairie West Kindergarten and TK Class of 2038!
We’re so excited to meet our newest little learners at Kindergarten Round-up!
Get ready for big smiles, new friends, and the start of an amazing adventure. Let the journey begin!

Fun at the Library! We’re joining in on the March Madness fun with picture books! Our library is participating in an exciting bracket challenge featuring Goldfinch Award-winning books from this year and the past few years. Thanks to an awesome partnership with 45 other teachers and libraries through AEA, we’re all voting to help decide this year’s champion.
Based on votes from students and our year, the favorite to win so far is "There's a Ghost in this House" by Oliver Jeffers! It’s been a blast seeing how much the kids love it.
Plus, we’re continuing to have a great time playing chess!

It’s a great experience to have the Waverly Public Library’s bookmobile at Prairie West! Even more exciting is the involvement of former Carey students, now middle school ambassadors, helping guide the elementary students to where they need to be.





We are in our jump rope unit! Students are working with our long ropes with partners! A lot of the 3rd and 4th graders even did Double Dutch with the jump ropes!
