Ahoy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful week! This week’s learning highlight comes from Kindergarten. There is exciting new learning happening in both math and ELA for our youngest learners. Our students worked on learning how to write and form the lower case letters m, a, t, d and are working on number formation 1-10. They are also working on learning position words (in front of, outside, behind, right, left).

Congratulations to our new SLT leadership team: Clarke A (President), Viaan C (Vice President), and Tess M (Technology Expert). I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of ALL who wrote and delivered speeches!

"Seas" the day, Explorers!

Sincerely,

Captain Eigenrauch
