Weekly Memo (November 4-8)
Retreat!
We had a great time on our 5th grade retreat last Friday (and it was much needed!). It was so good spending the day with the NLR 5th graders, and I could see the start of some great friendships that could last a lifetime! Today students wrote about their experiences, and many of them talked about the friends they made and the things they got to do. It was awesome!
What We’re Learning This Week (if all goes as planned)
I’ll mark each thing we get finished, and you can check back each day to see what we were able to get accomplished (and what we didn’t quite make it to).
