Fortis 2nd Grade (T/Th): 2/10-2/14

Dear Parents,

We had so much fun last week in school and have been enjoying talking about all the different space rocks and how are they alike and different. Our memory work has been in full swing, also, as we are continuing to work on our 2nd quarter poem and the next set of Catechism questions. We have been talking a lot during Bible that Jesus is our Priest, Prophet, and King!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day off on Monday!

Blessings,

Mrs. Poncy
