Hello First Grade Families!
We have so many things to celebrate in this class! Students have been learning and growing for 100 days tomorrow! They have so much to be proud of and I am looking forward to sharing some of these things with you at conferences.
Our student teacher, Mr. Warren is doing a great job in the classroom. He is a great example of life-long learning and the kids adore him :)
I added some photos from last weeks' refection on President's Day and our Social Studies unit ... some awesome drawings of Abraham Lincoln!
