On to Week 2!

Week of August 20-23

What an awesome start we had last week! Your children are transitioning wonderfully. We are incredibly blessed to be your child's teachers!  We have already begun to build many wonderful memories and to move into a routine.

This week please drop-off and pick up you child at the normal carpool location.  Thanks to those who texted us  with any carpool changes last week.  The parapros will be greeting the children at 8:00 a.m. and Mrs. Jernigan and Mrs. Lee will come up to the Main Entrance around 8:15.  Remember biker shorts or soffees for girls under dresses.

This delightful book is about a little girl is rural Appalachia who doesn't have a school.  A girl comes to the mountain who can read and the girls inspire one another to learn many important things including reading.  We'll be discussing friendship, family, roles, handling dissapointment, and perserverance.  We'll also read Rumplestiltzkin this week to compare his response to dissapointment to Ambers.
