Harvest Feast

Thank You for helping to make our Harvest Feast so special. The students were very proud of the hard work that went in to making the meal possible and they enjoyed every last minute of it.

Welcome back to school!

I hope that you all got spend some time with family over the break. We are going to be getting back in to the swing of things with 3 full weeks of school ahead. Our grace and courtesy focus continues to be unity and loyalty. It is so important that our students feel that they are a part of our classroom community and strive to make the environment a comfortable and caring one for others.

I will be sending out field trip slips this week for Musical Explorers. Please be on the lookout for the field trip form in your student's book bag.

Field Trips 

Our students had an amazing time on their respective field trips to Downtown Savannah. First grade students learned about Thomas Jefferson and the local Georgians who signed the Declaration of Independence. I had the pleasure of escorting our third grade students on an architectual adventure! They were completely engaged and found several different types of architectural details on historical buildings that were inspired by Ancient Greek Architecture. They also used their bodies to demonstrate the features of some of the architecture!

Second grade students saw the riverfront where James Oglethorpe first landed and visited monuments dedicated to Tomichichi and Oglethorpe on their trip to Downtown Savannah.
