Big Buddy

Our Big Buddy groups met for a second time this year, this time to make thank you cards. The older students helped our littles write and decorate cards to staff members.

📙 Book of the Month 📕

The elementary book of the month for November is "The Book that Almost Rhymed" by Omar Abed. The story tells of a young writer proud to read his work until his sister interrupts and alters every perfectly crafted rhyme. In the end he finds out two storytellers can make a rhyming tale twice as nice.

Once students finished the book, Kindergarten through second grade made their own rhyming book and the third through fifth created a rhyming chain.

Winners of the copy of "The Book that Almost Rhymed" were Rowen Rogers and Lincoln Mireles.
