I have had a blast getting to know your children every day and I look forward to the rest of this year. We’ve had lots of laughs, good Jesus talks and learning going on in here, and it’s only going to get better! I also want to give a shout out to all of the parents of second grade—y’all have been so generous and welcoming and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much. I’ve had a lot of donations come in too, and because of the craziness, I’m not sure what came from what parent. So THANK YOU to everyone who has been so kind to me and the class so far this year! We are also excited to welcome our new student, Sophia Chapman! Her mom’s name is Christy, so make sure to reach out to them if you haven’t already and show them some 2nd grade love! Have a BEE- autiful weekend! Love in Christ, Mrs. B Additional Information -The first “homework packet” is coming home today.
