Super First Week!



We have had a wonderful first full week of school! The students are beginning to settle into our school routines. They are learning to work independently while  we have small group rotations. That is a very big kid skill!!! You can see some pictures above of lunch time and classroom activities. They have had a great time visiting all of our special teachers. I am most proud of the way they have put this week's Bible verse into action by encouraging one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11). 


A few friendly reminders:

  • Please send a healthy snack like crackers or fruit rather than chips.
  • Please encourage toys to stay at home. They must remain in the backpack if they come to school.
Thanks! Below is a peek at what we will be practicing and learning next week.
