Dear parents, Meeting all of the families and friends was a splendid occasion. It was especially enjoyable to witness the wonderful relationship between your child and grandparent/friend. We had a very busy morning. The first graders were very excited to share their published stories and Color poems that they wrote this past week. They had a terrific time teaching their guests math games. The students also had the chance to show off their strong math skills. Our morning concluded after attending PE together. I hope the visitors all enjoyed being part of our First grade class. In addition, we had a chance to give the grandparents a sneak preview of a song we have been practicing with Mr. Murdock. Mr. Murdock continues to inspire us! First grade will perform this song and short skit at All School Meeting May 23rd. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the beautiful weather.
