Last Day of School!

It's the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! 

That means you are officially

2ND GRADERS!

I am so happy that I got to see so many of you yesterday at our drive-thru celebration! 

I made one last video for you today- click here for the last video of the year!

I also put together a list of a bunch of read alouds I did for you that you can watch now, or save for later on this summer. You have your Summer Reading Plan and I know you will go on lots of reading adventures this summer! 

Have a wonderful summer- play, explore, read, rest, and be well! 

Last Blog Post for the Year

Wow! What an amazing year in first grade! A year truly unlike ANY before! And we did it, together!

This will be the last blog post for the year. If you need anything, let me know.

The learning plan for this last week of school is to build a summer reading plan and a summer math plan. There is a short video each day about each plan. I look forward to seeing everyone at the whole school Zoom Tuesday, June 9th at 10 am and at our drive-thru supply drop off and pick up on Thursday, June 11th from 12:00-12:45.
