HELLO! and welcome back everyone!

The 4th, 5th and 6th graders are back in full swing now that we are into our second week of the school year. We have SO many amazing classes that have started already, such as gymnastics, reading games, greek mythology and people's history...The kids have also been busy sewing and making toys, playing football at the park and organizing themselves as a new class. There are 9 students as of now and we are happy to be back together. Please keep your eyes out for weekly update and reminders.  Tongue out

Animal Class Fact


The downstairs kids have been really into the new Animal Class that we started after break. We are working our way throught the alphabet, picking what we think is the most interesting. So far we have gotten through ARMADILLO and BISON. So, our fun animal fact is... The nine banded armadillo gives birth to four genetically identical quadruplets in each litter! And who knows what we will learn about next? Will it be the Capybara or the Chupacabra?
