Wow – We had a very busy week in First Grade. Not only was our spring first grade program on Thursday evening, but the highly anticipated Grand Day was held on Friday. Both events turned out wonderful, the kids were “Shining Stars” on the stage as they spoke and sang their way through the months of first grade, recapping some of our favorite events through song!
Grand Day was also a HUGE success! This is my second year in first grade and this event is one of the most special in school event for these kids. Special thanks goes to the 3 amazing first grade teachers I work with, this event is so well planned and organized I know is their years of fine-tuning and planning that makes it so unforgettable. The first graders taught their Guests how to sign-in on our Smart Board which is so normal to us in the classroom; I think the kids were surprised when their guests had questions about it. Then they were off to the many different activities, giving tours of the school, showing guests many games and activities on computers and IPods, estimating the number of goldfish in the jar, writing on our “School Then” and “School Now” (WOW – have things changed J), making a May Day keepsake Flower, coffee and cookies, and so much more! We ended the morning with another little program. The songs were chosen to honor the special Grand Day Guests and honor them they did, brought many to tears! Thank you to all of the guests who shared this wonderful day in our classroom. I enjoyed meeting the Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles and of course parents who joined us as well.
