Chapel
This week we concluded our chapel lessons on JOY. We remembered how the “J” is for Jesus, the “O” is for others and learned the “Y” is for you. We also learned how to sign them.

Continuing with our back to school theme, here are some of our favorite books to read the first week of school! We love all the Pete the Cat Books!
