Miss Carrie's preschool classes this week spent a fun day with their grandparents decorating cupcakes, taking pictures and making picture frames with their special guests.  The preschoolers had also created little booklets about their grandparents that shared why they loved them.  We even got a photo of our very own Mrs. Carter with her grandson, Mason, and Mrs. Taylor's daughter, Ellie, with her grandparents.  We love you, grandma and grandpa!

Mrs. Phelps' class had a POWerful day learning all about digraphs.  They learned that digraphs are one new sound represented by two letters, such as:  sh, th, ch, wh, and ph.  They used cool superhero glasses to find hidden digraphs all around the classroom.  It was amazing how quiet and hardworking these superheroes were.  The class concluded that the best digraph is ... "PH."  Can you guess why?
