A Note from Mrs. B 
Happy February! 
I hope that y’all have been enjoying this BEE-autiful weather lately! We definitely have as we enjoy our recess time. This week has been fun as we’ve been able to spend a lot of time in Bible reflecting on prayer and learning about how we should pray to the Lord. I love seeing how sincere your children are as we’ve been discussing scripture and what Jesus teaches us. We were also able to celebrate Ellie’s half birthday which was fun since she is FRESH to FCS! She is fitting in so well with the rest of our beehive, and if you haven’t reached out to the Love family, make sure to make them feel welcome!  Our class loves you, Ellie!
Love in Christ, Mrs. B 
