Early Communities Day

We had an awesome day and week for that matter!

It is so great to see the kids have so much fun while learning here at school. Sorry if some of your children came home a little wet... we did apple bobbing... and then I guess they thought it would be fun to bathe in the water.. sorry. Anyways, we had a great day learning what it was like to be in an early settler school, playing games and competing in fun chores that early settlers would do throughout the week. Your children had great costumes on and I only wish that I could post them on the blog to show you!

Next week we will be starting a baseball unit in P.E. Make sure to bring your baseball equipment!

Have the best weekend!!
