Mrs. Shedd Day!
Celebration
We spent several weeks working together as a team to determine how we want our class to be, how we may honor God in the specific little things in each learning day. Our activities helped to provide opportunities to live out the actions we are looking for, which led to constructing our rules this week.
The students determined the wording in small groups, and then they voted on their favorite rules.
***We will respect, worship, and pray to God.
***We will encourage and respect people.
***We will take care of our classroom and school.
***We will try our best when we’re working.
Today we celebrated that milestone with our first special sewing time with Mrs. Shedd! Each student sewed a stuffy to guard over his or her hook this year.
Thank you, Shedds, for your kindness! Thank you, Mrs. Oke, for assisting today! Our room was full of smiles.
Mrs. Shedd’s Tea Party
Lunch Fellowship
On “Mrs. Shedd Days”, we invite students to take turns coming away for some quiet conversation around the table. It is a wonderful time of catching up on the news and fellowship with one another. Relationship building is a key component of MVCS. Here are a few from recent weeks . . . .

New Curtains Too!
. . . . And this week Mrs. Shedd sewed matching curtains! Wow!
Such Care
Wonderful Mrs. Shedd, always watching out for us, sewed new window seat cushions this month. What kindness!
Lifelong Passion for Reading
Mrs. Shedd is the Reading Champ of our class! She beats us all every single year in the 40 Book Challenge, no matter how we try. As we watch her reading habits, we notice she is an expert at the “wild reader” strategy of having a book everywhere and using snippets of time for reading wherever she is. She often finishes a book every day or two rather than the book a week we aim for! Imagine all the places she has gone in her mind! Thank you for inspiring us, Mrs. Shedd.
We Miss You, Mrs. Shedd!
Our faithful weekly volunteer, dear Mrs. Shedd, is frolicking with her kids and grandkids at a family reunion this week. She sent a few Camp Maranatha photos of their outdoor fun.
Walking Down Memory Lane
At yesterday’s Mrs. Shedd lunch with the awesome 7th/8th graders, these avid readers posed in the reading castle with their favorite series from 2nd and 3rd grade to remember the “good old days.” Love, love, love.
