MCA Weekly Wrap-Up!
Primary & KinderPrep Family News - Feb. 15, 2019
Dear Families,
As I'm writing this newsletter on a Snow Day, surrounded by several inches of snow blanketing the neighborhood, my mom is texting me to let me know she safely arrived with her mission trip team to a tropical country in Central America where it is a warm 87 degrees. We teach our students that a great reading strategy is to "visualize"- use your mind to "see and feel" the story to better understand it- so right now I'm trying really hard to use my visualization skills to "feel" that Honduran sunshine!
Cold snowy weather aside, it's been a great week at Maranatha! My favorite part of the week was greeting students on Thursday morning and seeing the incredibly creative Valentine boxes! Next week is a short week due to Presidents' Day and teacher inservice day, but there are a lot of exciting things going on in the next few weeks so make sure you take a read through the rest of the newsletter for updates!
Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!
Blessings!
Mrs. Howell
