Ms. Modisett's First Grade Classroom! : Week 26!

Good Morning!

We had a great time celebrating Great Hearts day last week! We started the day with an assembly, spent sometime reading with 4th grade buddies and then ended the day with our celebration. Students enjoyed making cards and bookmarks for each other. Please see pictures below :)

The scholars of 1A have been working very hard in class and have recently earned a very special reward.

Please give a warm welcome to a very exciting addition to our 1A family, Cuddles the fish!

I am very excited to experience this special opportunity along with your children!
