Friends and brothers having a ball!

Check backpacks! Portfolios went home! 🥰 They are so much work but my favorite to reflect on the year. So sad the year has come to an end! I always feel like we never have enough time together at the end!

We started the year reading Only One You. We ended the year with Love You When by Linda Kranz. Years back I wrote to her during Covid and she sent me her rock book with a personalized letter. Forever grateful! Today we carried on our first grade tradition by putting rocks outside

Adding to the Mrs. Freida rock pod! ❤️ I love traditions with students!

Last read aloud. It was a day filled of tears and laughter. Ended the day with water fun!

One last lunch in the classroom and an ice cream party!

Thanks summer program and Mrs. MT for teaching my 13 year old how to make eggs! Is dusting next? 😉😉

The classroom community in ⁦Meredith Freida⁩ Mrs. Freida’s first grade have established their norms for the year!!

Amazing portraits were created today of our main character Tomas! Families, check parentsquare for more pictures and information!

Parent mail going home tomorrow! Check out ParenrSquare for some school spirit we had today!

Story suitcase has been changed! I wonder what our new book is going to be about? Last week a student said, “At first I thought we were really traveling, but now I know we are traveling through books!” Proud teacher moment! 💡 Check ParentSquare for more pics of our day!

I would say students are starting to answer our essential question, “How do books change lives across the world?” We introduced our new famous book, Green Eggs and Ham. Every child had a copy and one student asked if we could just have DEAR time for a minute! ❤️❤️❤️

We are falling in love with this weather! We are having so much fun celebrating Red Ribbon Week! ❤️

First grade team! Happy Halloween everyone!

We had a great first day back after the holiday break. Welcome back, Wildcats!

Rarely share on here because most of my pictures / updates go to families on PS, but had to share those activity we did together yesterday! Memory bracelets! Check out Wit and Wisdom as a favorite memory! When asked why, student said bc of the story suitcases & book tastings 🥰😭

First Grade Cinderella Ball was an enchanting time! The activities were a celebration of the Wit and Wisdom Fairy Tales lessons. A huge thank you to everyone that made it possible including our first grade team, staff, families and especially the magical Mrs. Emerson!
