We enjoyed our first garden lesson with Fit 4 Kids this past Thursday! The students planted some new seedlings in the garden and even enjoyed some vegetarian “pizza!”
*Homework*
Please make sure your child is completing the homework assigned each night. There will always be vocabulary and spelling homework. These must be studied and practiced at home. Math homework will reflect what we are working on in class and extra practice at home assists with mastery of the skills. All students have time before dismissal to get started and ask questions.
