Star of the Week

Rylee is our star this week!


We all got a kick out of Rylee's photos; especially the one her mom made her bring in that was embarrassing.  It was very funny!

We learned in her "I Am" poem that she loves Katy Perry and her favorite song is California Girls.  Even her dad was surprised of this fact!



Rylee's special guest today was her dad.


Thanks for being our star, Rylee.  You did a great job!

Star of the Week

Our star this week is Koby!





Koby made us laugh all day today!  He started by reading his Roll-a-Story during morning meeting which was based around an evil taco, and wouldn't you know tacos came up in his "I Am" poem too!  


We enjoyed the photos of Koby when he was little, and the action shot of him rounding third base in a baseball tournament.



Koby's special guests were his mom and sister.  Thanks for being our star, Koby!
