Week 10 & 11

-

 Hello Families! 

This week we had lots of fun singing and dancing! We learned about Abraham and Sarah and God's promise to them, as well as what it means to be a Wisdom Seeker, which is one of our discipleship practices! We also worked on learning letters in our friends names and our own first letters! It was busy but it was full of fun! 

Next week we will start talking about what it means to be thankful, as well as introducing a new memory verse, and the number 3!

Also, some of you saw Mrs. Overbeeks special announcement on Facebook, but for those of you who didn't get to see it, she is expecting! She is due mid-April! We are SO excited for her! There will be more details about her sub as we get closer to her due date! 


Upcoming Dates:

Thanksgiving Vacation: November 26-28

Christmas Vacation: December 22- January 2


Things to Know:

Coat Flip: We began to teach your students the "coat flip". If you want to use this at home we tell the students to put the hood by their feet, then put their hands in the holes (sleeves) and then gently flip it over their head. They do not have to do the coat flip by any means, this is just the way we teach if they are not independent in putting on their coat.

 Hello Families!  We made it through our first week of school! We had SO much fun getting to know your students and teaching them some of our routines! In these next couple of weeks I am sure some of our friends will still feel some big emotions as they get used to the routine of coming to school. This is totally normal and we will keep giving lots of hugs and lots of encouragement!  Next week we will keep learning our school routines, and we will take our first field trip! On Wednesday we will get on a bus and head to the High School for our all School convocation. If possible, please drop your child off by 8:20 so we can get to the bus on time.  Things To Know:  Walk-a-thon T-shirt: There is a QR code outside of my room to sign up your student for a walk-a-thon t shirt. Please sign them up on Monday if you haven't already done so!  Upcoming Dates (Details to follow as the dates get closer): Post Family Farms: September 22 *Remember, each student needs an...
