Kindergarteners had a "Royal Tea Party" to conclude our study of Kings and Queens. In our study we learned about the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a royal family, as well as stories like King Midas and the Golden Touch, Cinderella, Snow White, and The Princess and the Pea. #Fairytales #mountainviewprep #Cutestkinders #RoyalTea
