It was a wonderful week in our First Grade Classroom! The students are getting used to the routines of our classroom and daily schedule. We had lots of fun learning about Weather and Clouds to go along with our Journeys Story, The Storm. We also ended our week learning and reading about Mother Teresa becoming a Saint and Labor Day! Have a safe and relaxing long weekend! I look forward to another great week!
