📚🐊💚💛 Reading, sharing, and pouring into the next generation! 💛💚🐊📚

Two of our 2nd graders, Easton and Brec, used their hard-earned money from Mrs. Lori’s Gator Store to purchase a very special coupon… a “Read to Another Class” coupon! 🥹📖✨

Today, they got to visit our sweet Pre-K classes and share a book with them! 🥰📚 Thank you to our wonderful Pre-K friends for welcoming them and being such great listeners! 💕

We absolutely LOVE seeing our students get excited about reading and even more, watching them use what they’re learning to pour into our younger students. 🥹❤️ There is something so special about watching older children become role models and seeing the little ones look up to them!

So proud of Easton and Brec for choosing to spend their Gator Bucks on something that brings joy to someone else! 🐊💚💛 Reading + kindness + leadership = the BEST kind of Gator Store purchase! 📚✨

We had our LS first Chapel week. Pastor Brandon spoke to us about the “Kid King” Joash. God used Joash to lead his people out of a dark season and lead them into a prosperous time. The word of God ordered Joash’s steps. He followed Christ and even though he was young he still did a great work for Christ. God can use you regardless of your age.✝️🙏

Coach Dennard led chapel today with a powerful message: What does it mean to be built different?

📖 Romans 12:1–5
Sometimes we trade who God created us to be for the chance to be someone else—but God makes originals, not copies! Through Him, we can become even greater than we imagined.

📖 Psalm 139:13–14
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God created you with a unique purpose!

📖 Matthew 5:13–16
You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Let your light shine so others can see God through you!

This week’s challenge:
✨ Be built different.
✨ Be a light.
✨ Speak the truth.

We were created to shine! 💚💛🐊

Miss. Ansley’s Class is racing their way to 100! 🎲💯 Students practiced their number sense with a fun game of Race to 100! Partners took turns rolling a die and counting forward that many spaces on their hundreds charts to see who could reach 100 first. A little friendly competition made practicing number recognition, counting on, and using a hundreds chart even more fun! 💚💛

The 4th-grade classroom was a buzzing hive of imagination today. As students paired up to perform their figurative language plays, their words danced like fireflies and painted pictures brighter than the morning sun. They weren't just learning; they were architects of wonder, turning simple sentences into soaring eagles and proving that with a little creativity, they can truly rewrite the stars.
