First Year First Impressions

We just finished the first full week of school, and we thought it would be nice to hear what some of our first year students had to say about their time so far at Sagonaska.  (We know what the second years would say... they LOVE it... that's why they are back!)  Read below to hear what some of our newbies had to say!


"It was scary the first few days, but now its getting better.  I really like it and it's helping me learn already!" Holly, Grade 6

"I have only been here for not even two weeks and I'm already starting to improve.  I've already moved up a level so I'm really excited!" Zoey, Grade 7

"I feel like I'm already learning how to read!" Ella, Grade 7

"It's a really good school." Nathan, Grade 7

"It's one of the best things out there for kids with LDs.  And you learn a lot too." Lyndsey, Grade 7

"It is awesome!" Carter, Grade 7


"It's been good so far." Ryan, Grade 6

"It's a really good school.  You learn a lot.  And the teachers let you use Mindcraft!" Landon, Grade 5

Reading

Story Time During the last few months I have been reading to the boys a couple of nights a week. The boys are really enjoying story time...
