Getting into the Routine
We are getting into the routine in Primary West. We have a lot of new students from the pre-primary class and from other schools. Our returning students are being wonderful leaders showing them the routines in our class. It is beautiful to see the love and caring that these children show each other!

I know you may not hear much about what your child is doing all day. Here are some good questions to begin conversations, but please be patient with your child. She may not be ready to share.
“Did you help someone today?”
“Did someone help you today?”
“Did you watch a work today?”
“Who did you sit next to at lunch today?”
“Did you sing a song today?”- We started music this week- so this can be a fun one on Thursdays!
“Did a friend give you a lesson today?”
“What is your favorite work in the class?”
“Did you laugh today?”
I have also included some pictures. You can look at them with your child, and he may be more inclined to talk about school :)
We have truly enjoyed getting to know your children better and spending our days with them!

Pre-Primary Summer!
We all enjoyed
a long "Four Day Fourth of July Weekend." Our class shared stories of
fireworks, swimming, and cookouts! Summer School enjoyed plenty of outdoor activities.Some favorites included: blowing, chasing, and popping bubbles,
"1,2,3,...GO!" relay races on our playground, singing "Wheels on the Bus, Days of the Week, ABCs, Hello Summertime," and many more tunes! We were happy to have Jaimie in our Pre-primary classroom for summer. Jaimie graduated from Appalachian
State in May 2016 with a degree in Elementary Education, and got married on Independence weekend!
Congratulations Jaimie, Mountain Pathways is grateful for your
assistance in the Pre-primary class.

It's Elementary, Kids....
6-9 has spent some time at Farm Camp learning about the garden and having lots of fun in the process. Mornings were spent working with Ms. Kristy and her helpers, planting and harvesting a variety of herbs and vegetables. Every day, a group snack was prepared using the
ingredients from the garden. And, of course, Pebble Beach is enjoyed after lunch!

Farm Camp!
Farm Camp had a productive last few weeks with harvesting herbs, vegetables, and preparing mushroom logs. Farm to Flame pizza also visited and the campers enjoyed making their own pizzas. This final week, we visited Elson Green's goat farm and learned about his day-to-day farm duties. We also had some friends bring a dairy calf to the school! We discussed what makes a farm a farm, and spent a lot of time getting our hands dirty by working as a team, and valuing our farm's place in the Boone community.

Another big thanks to Miss Kristen for putting together the summer Pathway... Thanks also to MP graduate Alayna Arnholt, who did her internship service for her enrollment at the NC School of Science and Math with the toddler class over the first several weeks.... Thanks for all your hard work Alayna!
Happy Summer, everyone!
