I am impressed by all the knowledge that my 5 year old has and is continuing to absorb! when i was in kindergarten i remember learning basic words. My child comes home with words like: inhabit, elegant, guerrilla, buffoon, abduct, and culture. And the thing that wow's me is...He understands what the word means and can give you a definition! IWES is a great place and i feel that students are priority! Great Job Holbrook Unified School District! Close Quote
