Classroom News:
September 28, 2018 our first graders will enjoy rotating through different first grade classrooms to learn how to play different recess games children played in the 1800s here in the USA. I can use one or two parents to help teach the children how to play a game between 8:40-9:40 a.m. on September 28. I will have game instructions and game supplies ready for you. I will be available on Sept 27 right after school to meet with you to teach you how to play the game our classroom will be responsible for. If you are interested in helping to teach our first graders please click here to volunteer.
I would really like to offer some long ago hands-on learning centers for the children to enjoy on September 28 from 1:35 to 3:05p.m. To do this I need your help! I will need a parent volunteer to help at each center and some extra supplies donated. If you are able to volunteer or donate supplies please click here.
