Hello, First Grade Families,

We hope you enjoyed your break and were able to enjoy the solar eclipse with your families. The school year certainly is speeding by, and soon, our class will grow into second graders. Luckily, we still have six weeks of fairytales to guide us through the end of the school year.

Before the break, we had an eventful week filled with fun activities. On Wednesday, the Fourth and Fifth Grade class invited us to be an audience during the dress rehearsal of their class play. The children loved watching the older students perform and wanted to act out their own play the entire afternoon following the performance. On Thursday, the third graders invited us to view the shelters they built using materials found at the school. Interacting with the older students always fills the first graders with excitement for the many things they will get to participate in and learn in the coming years.

We also celebrated Grandfriends Day before the break, and the children loved having their friends and family members join them in song and celebration. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend.

Announcements and Reminders:

Dress for the weather with layers and send in full rain gear daily (raincoat, rain pants, and boots).
