All About our Children
The Hope of our Future
Kind Kindergartners
Summit Kindergartners are learning so much! We are now starting to read words from the weekly word lists and can you believe we will be starting spelling tests soon? We are counting, sorting and reading number words! We know about patterns, different sizes and writing our numbers to 10. We are beginning to put words together to write a simple sentence and learning about our community helpers and maps.
We are so excited about the special holidays coming up but we still remember to use good manners and have self control. We are growing by leaps and bounds!

Fantastic First Graders
First graders have been very busy the first nine-weeks. We have been working on addition and subtraction in math. In reading we are already on our second unit. They have enjoyed retelling stories, such as the Little Red Hen and working on main idea and details when reading about animals We were also excited to have community helpers visit our classroom. We had a firefighter, hairdresser, and construction worker come to teach us about their jobs. The students are really making progress. We look forward to many more fun learning opportunities this next nine weeks!

Sensational Second Graders
What an exciting time in second grade! We have had pet day with a 2 week old bull calf, a chicken and a rooster, dancing dogs, and turtles to name a few!
Our kids are ready to learn, teach and lead by example as they share what they have learned about their habitats this week!
Tremendous Third Graders
We are very impressed with our third grade students! They are singing, dancing, playing games, doing research, and using a variety of strategies to learn in all subject areas! They are being responsible, sharing responsibility, working on projects, and showing self discipline as they become character strong!
We would like you to work with your child at home on the following website for math. Students know their Username and Password, but be looking for a note that has this information for you.
Great first semester, Good Times, Made many memories, ready for a new semester… Go Forth and be Fabulous is our Motto!
