* BLOG CHANGES *

PARENTS, STARTING ON TUESDAY EVERYTHING THAT IS BLUE IS OPTIONAL! WE WILL FOCUS ON MATH AND ELA (GRAMMAR, SPELLING, READING) AND THEN OF COURSE ANYTHING ELSE YOU GET TO, THAT'S GREAT, BUT NOT REQUIRED! :)




Dear Parents, 

Welcome to our first week learning online! I am sure our first session will be quite interesting, lol, so please bear with me as I learn all this new technology! :) Please read the email I sent titled, "Important info" if you have not already. Feel free to send me any questions that you have. I am looking forward to next week and getting to "see" your child online!  

Have a wonderful week! I still pray this virus pandemic ends so we can all be together again. 

Grace and peace,

Mrs. Poncy
