Lower School Review

BY SUSAN CRANFORD

One of the best parts of our job as educators is seeing the growth in our students as they learn to accomplish more and more as the year progresses Kindergarten teachers celebrated with a “monster party” this week as their students completed all levels of “Teach Your Monster to Read”. They have worked hard each week on mastering all the levels, as this reinforces the phonics and reading skills being taught in class These boys and girls were so excited!!

Kindergarten also participated in what is one of my VERY FAVORITE days here at TRA. We had our annual Kindergarten and Senior breakfast and parade of graduates Our kindergarten boys and girls shared breakfast with their buddy and also gave them written words of advice for college. I think my favorite advice included “Be kind like Jesus and call your momma!” Wouldn’t those be great words for all of us? After breakfast they paraded our halls, hand-in-hand, in their caps and gowns. This is absolutely the sweetest, cutest event!

TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY FOR OUR SOFTBALL SLUGGERS AND BASEBALL BUDDIES! WE HAVE SO ENJOYED THEIR VISITS THIS SPRING. WE LOVE THE FRIENDSHIPS MADE AND MENTORING THAT TAKES PLACE ON OUR CAMPUS BETWEEN OUR LOWER SCHOOL AND UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS.
