As part of our Once Upon a Leo theme, students explore a different fairy tale each month. This month, we are reading The Three Little Pigs and using the story to highlight and discuss positive character traits. These lessons are being integrated into daily classwork, allowing students to connect the story’s themes to their everyday learning activities.
