Ms. Bell's Briefings

It was an amazing first week of middle school at Grace Snell! We learned how to navigate class changes six times each day. We learned how to find our lunch table in the cafeteria, how to alternate schedules for connections classes, and how to find the correct bus at dismissal. We learned about the procedures and expectations for middle school. Through it all, I saw smiling faces, happy children, and attentive students. I look forward to continuing this momentum as we dive deeper into the curriculum for the second week of school.
