A big thank you to Church of the Highlands- Alabaster campus! They provided a yummy breakfast for all of our second and third grade teachers this week as they prepared to administer the ACAP test! ❤️
Mrs. Nabors’ kindergarteners had a mighty fun time learning! ⚡️🔨
They used “Thor’s hammer” to tap out the sounds in words and then blend them together—and they absolutely loved it! Learning + fun = the best kind of day 💛
Mrs. Nabors’ kindergarten class learned about fossils so they got to “dig for bones” using chocolate chip cookies! 🍪 They also had an “ocean in a cup” for a snack!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Mrs. Howanitz's kindergarten class! 🍀
Lucky Charm math with Mrs. Fike's 1st grade class! 🍀🌈
