We had a great start back to school! I was so happy to see all of my sweet friends back at school. We were also blessed to welcome a new friend to our classroom. I am so proud of the way everyone made Sarah Elizabeth feel welcome!
Friday we departed on our imaginary airplane to Spain as a part of our month long culture study. The Kindergarten classes will focus on Spanish Holidays and have an opportunity to showcase what we have learned for the rest of Lower School at the end of the month. We are very excited to have Luke M.'s mother's senior set design student assisting us in our efforts to recreate some of the Spanish atmosphere in the Kindergarten Commons. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting endeavor. If your child has not filled you in on the take off experience complete with tickets, passports, suitcases, and baggage claim be sure to ask about it!
January will be a busy month. It is always an exciting part of the teaching year to me. I told the students that I believe Santa must have brought them an extra dose of maturity because they seem very grown up. I look forward to all of the learning experiences ahead! Take a peek below at what is in store this week.
Coleman will be our first Star of the Week!
