Bible: We finished our time in Asia and traveled to Africa to visit Kenya. We had a wonderful presentation about Kenya with lots of things for us to touch and even a treat to eat. In our morning devotions we started a new book that focuses on different people of the Bible.

Next week is a short week. Monday there is no school and Friday is a half day. Due to this, we will NOT have any spelling words this week. I have attached what would have been the words along with the new sight words so you can at least see what we are covering this week. Our year is quickly drawing to a close. This is the time to encourage your child to finish strong. Im continually amazed at their progress and how much they have grown. I also continue to me thankful for all your help and support at home to make this year so successful! Upcoming Events: No school Early Dismissal Field trip to Ten Thousand Villages and MRC Field day No School Last day of school!,
