Back to School

 We are three weeks into the new school year and it is off to a pretty good start! The girls all have to wear masks indoors, but they are allowed to play anywhere on the playground, have chapel every week, and allow parent volunteers this year. We also decided to have them ride the bus to school in the morning!

Lydia is in the P4 Spanish class with Senora Polinder. She has school M/W/F mornings and wakes up every morning asking if it's a school day. Her class has 19 kids in it, which is the biggest class any of our kids have ever had. Hopefully, we can get to know some of the kids this year.

Haleigh is in 2nd Grade with Senor Berroteran. Her class meets in a new portable building that was just put in over the summer. He is such an amazing teacher and does a lot of singing/playing the piano and art projects, which are both things that Haleigh loves! 

Starting the morning off with worship songs around the piano!

Annaliese is in 4th Grade and has a new teacher, Maestra Gonzalez. She is in a combined 3/4 class this year, and there are only two other 4th graders. It seems like they are doing a little bit better job this year at taking some of the traditional things that kids at LC do and also having the kids in the Spanish Immersion program do them as well. Annaliese just signed up for something called CREW, which is an opportunity for fourth graders to volunteer around the school. She is hoping to be on a card-making CREW, so I will have to share more about it once it starts and we actually know what it involves! 

Maestra Gonzalez and Annaliese!

I have definitely had a few issues with LC and the Lynden community in general as we've navigated through the past year and all things Covid-related, but I love our teachers and everything about the Spanish Immersion Program. After going to parent night last week, it is so evident that these teachers care about our kids so much and they invest so much of themselves into teaching and loving on our kids. I am excited to see our kids grow and flourish this year!

Haleigh wouldn't get in my picture...and the other kids wouldn't move...but at least she smiled for my photo!

Ice cream cones to celebrate the end of the first week!
