Wk 6 September 14-18

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! It was a busy one at our house. We traveled to Knoxville on Saturday to watch Alex perform with the UT Pride of the Southland Band. It was a lot of fun! The band did an awesome job with their show. They played music from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and E.T. It was very disappointing that our team lost. Hopefully, those of you who watch and cheer for a college team fared well.

We have been very busy learning new skills in math, reading, and writing. We are also learning to work together, play fairly, share with, and care for our classmates. As the saying goes... Together everyone achieves more.

On Friday, we will have our first Gator Fun Day! Last year, we called the event Movie Matinee. Hopefully, you will make plans to attend. For $5, your child can stay after school for a movie, snack, and a drink. You get two extra hours of free time. It's fun for your child and helps our school raise much needed funds.
