First Grade Happenings
We survived testing week! Your precious children have worked so hard this week. We are very proud of their perseverance and grit during our testing. Our classrooms are alive with insects and we are having such fun learning about God’s beautiful world! We have loved observing our ladybug larvae, ant farm (our ants have been marching and making tunnels!) , caterpillars, and newly emerged butterflies- we had a few butterflies decide to make their appearance during testing!
