First-graders from Mohr Elementary School recently had the opportunity to cut a ribbon opening a new playground at Amaral Park next door to the school.
Teacher Beth Patock received so many questions about construction at the park and its opening that she turned it into a writing assignment — students wrote their questions on a butterfly-shaped piece of paper and mailed them to the Pleasanton Planning Department.
In turn, the department invited them to cut the ribbon opening the park, which has a new jungle gym, slides and more. The park reopened early this month, just in time for kids from Mohr to enjoy it before school let out for the summer.
My kindergartners were so passionate about this writing assignment. Thanks for sharing our story. Thank you again to Mr. Fiorio and the City of Pleasanton for the opportunity!
Enjoy kids! HOORAY!
