*Welcome to the 2026 - 2027 school year. I am so excited to get to know your children and grow our classroom into a "family."
My deep hope is that we will know how deeply loved we are by God, just as we are, and as we see His fingerprints in creation we know He isn't finished making us more wonderful.
One way we can connect school and home is if you ask your child how they saw God in their day or in what they learned.
Mrs. Wierenga and I are piloting a potential new ELA curriculum this fall. We are only planning to do one unit of the curriculum, but if we really like it we may continue for the entire first quarter. Do not be alarmed if what we are doing for English/Read/Gram/Spell looks different from what the other two 5 grade classes are doing. If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out.
*Did you miss school? Check the planner or check our past homework page to see what you missed.*
*Prayer Requests / Praise Reports*
(Reach out and share so others can be praying and rejoicing with you)
Pray for our new families, that students make good friends and connections here at CVC
