A Note from Mrs. B 
Hey there from the beehive!
I am LOVING this class so much already, and this week has been fun continuing to get to know one another as we dive into the curriculum!  We have started learning cursive which is very exciting, and have peeked into each of our different subjects. We have also had great fun with the Bible curriculum that Mr. G wrote. We’re getting to know God and find out who He really is through exploring the Word!  Once again, sincere thanks to all of you who are continuously sending goodies in; I appreciate it more than you know!! Triathlon Training starts tomorrow, so make sure your kiddo is wearing tennis shoes so that they’re prepared. They’ll be doing GoNoodle (fun cardio) with Mrs. Schne and I so it’ll be a BLAST! Y’all have a wonderful weekend.
Love in Christ,
Mrs. B 

Items to put in folder: notes for Mrs. B, permission slips, money due, library books that need to be returned to the library or Mrs. B’s library, and of course homework.
