The Kindergarten class is fondly referred to as the Cottontail Rabbit classroom. At Willowwind, students learn about the history and ecological importance of prairie habitats. Because of this, each classroom is named after a prairie animal. This is to help promote our passion for, and interest in, prairies and the wildlife found within them. Our class name, the Cottontail Rabbits, is very fitting. Here are some similarities between Kindergarteners and Cottontails as discovered by this year's Kindergarten class.
