A Note from Mrs. B 
Hey there from the beehive! This short week has absolutely flown by and boy has it been crazy busy in our beehive!  We have bikes for tomorrow’s triathlon training so make sure to bring them in the morning as well as a water bottle! Book Adventure updates are going home today, so please make sure your little honeybee is on track for what they need by next week. Generally, they all are doing very well so far! Just a side note, some books are registering as Not BA, so make sure to confirm that the books your child is quizzing on is BA. I can’t give them points for these books. I hope y’all have a BEE-autiful weekend! 
Love in Christ,
Mrs. B 
