Class Highlight of the Week
Time Flies in First Grade!
It is music to a teacher's ears when she hears her class say, "It's time for lunch?" or "Time to go home already?"
 
In first grade, we have been very busy learning about our amazing world through many science experiments.  We work together to see how we can test our knowledge of structure and mechanics through S.T.E.M. activities.  We have been studying about great artists and even making some tasty treats along the way!  Learning about our country and the Pledge makes us say it with conviction, but what makes our class the most excited is to see a connection between numbers and order in math and order in God's world.  So, pray for us as we work hard and grow together in God's word.
