Short Week!

We had a fun and productive, short week in our kindergarten classroom!  In addition to participating in chapel led by Mr. Howell, we spent time talking about Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and President’s Day.  The kindergartners enjoyed talking about the presidents and imagined what it would be like to be a president in our school and for the United States.

BAG Books:
Thank-you for your help in making BAG books a success!  As your child continues to practice and read new books, please note that the difficulty level often varies even between the ‘letter level’ of each book.  Your child may read some books with ease, but may have more difficulty with other books.  The books we use are intentionally designed to vary in difficulty level so that they can both build your child’s reading confidence, as well as offer challenges along the way.  Thanks again for your help with this program!  Please be sure that your child returns his or her books every Monday.

Bible Memory:
Our February Bible Memory is Psalm 121: 1-2.  Thank-you for your continued practice at home!
