1 Thessalonians 5:18

No matter what happens, always be thankful.

Real world objects provide lots of teachable moments! In learning about fall, our students explored pumpkins last month. They weighed them, they measured their height, they did sink/float experiments with them, they drew still life art of them, they observed the inside of them, they learned what color they were, they learned about the life cycle of pumpkins-the list goes on and on!

The holiday season is upon us--can you believe it?! As we enter the season of Thanksgiving, I pray that it will be a peaceful, restful time with your children. There will be no school the week of Nov. 21-25. We are truly grateful for being able to be a part of your children's lives.

Sincerely,

Erika Hemphill

Director
