1st Grade Is a Hoot!!
Wasn't the dance Friday night fun!! I sold lots of pizza, candy, and juice. I hope you had a chance to stop by.
The students are enjoying learning about the Wizard of Oz. It's a great book full of lots of surprises, and the students are enjoying learning about the characters. We are linking our science and social studies with the Wizard of Oz by learning about weather and geography.
If you have any empty shoeboxes, we could use them in class. The students are going to decorate them as a container to hold their books they bring home from class.
