We had a great week exploring nature, learning about wild animals, and Johnny Appleseed. We even practiced addition and introduced a little subtraction. Our nature hike was a great success! We saw animal tracks, a few critters, listened to birds, and discussed many different species of plants. I think everyone, including the adults learned a lot! Thanks Mr. Averett for leading our hike and teaching us about the nature we so often take for granted around us each day. Please check out our pictures below for a sneak peek at our hike!
This Friday we have a BIG day! First thing in the morning, we have the Blessing of the Animals. Please feel free to bring your pets to receive a blessing. Keep in mind that the animal(s) must be on a leash or in a cage and they have to be taken home after the service. We will meet outside for chapel that morning in the grove. Also, please send an apple to school with your child on Friday. We will be making a yummy apple treat to celebrate Johnny Appleseed and all that we have learned about apples. Also, Scholastic Book orders are due Friday. If you do not order online with the online code at the top of the book order form, please send in a check made out to Scholastic. Thank you!
Tuesday this week is St. George's night at the Griffin Dwarf House Chick-Fil-A if you are able to join us! The following Tuesday (September 29th) will be a great night of family fun at the school including volleyball, cross country, a fun run, and a family picnic. This will be a great time for fun and fellowship with the school and community. Don't forget Grandparent's day on October 9th, which will also be a half day for students. The following week is Fall Break!
Last, but certainly not least, the Doughtie's had their sweet baby last week. Little Mary Hawkins is at home with mommy and the whole family is doing well!
We are looking forward to a fun week! Happy Fall!
