When I Grow Up...

Today our First Grade Frogs read the book, When I Grow Up, written by Peter Horn. As a reader's response, our first graders shared with us their dreams for growing up. Their responses were so fun. We thought we would share them with you! Enjoy these adorable hopes and dreams. We even left in a bit of first grade spelling for your pleasure! What a fun way to celebrate the week of the young child!

And I will gift it away to someone with no money.

I want to be a Vet. I will take care of animals. Some are cute and some are not cute. I am going to take care of horses. They can have a broken leg. Sometimes skunks they don't have the smell inside them anymore. I played Vet with my best friend. Her name was Lila. It was fun. I played it 20 times. I love animals. I had 2 dogs. They were cute. I had to give them away. It is so fun with animals.

April Fools' Day Nature Lady

Our first grade tricksters had a fabulous April Fools' Day. They were first fooled by the schedule on the board, which called for recess and summer vacation. They then took a fake spelling test. Finally, they enjoyed a taste of brown-e. The best April Fools' day surprise was that Ms. Reynolds was our nature lady! All primary students learned from Ms. Reynolds about fish! It was a fabulous presentation and the children were very engaged. Take a look at the packet that Ms. Reynolds sent home for more information on fish! Enjoy these fun pictures!

Lemonade Days!

The first grade frogs loved visiting the fifth-grade lemonade stands. The fifth-graders learned how to be entrepreneurs through a program called lemonade days. They learned all about owning their own companies through local Barrington businesses. The competition was fierce and the marketing strategies were fabulous. It was a fun time had by all. The first graders could donate their money or enjoy a cup of lemonade! Some of our first grade friends enjoyed several cups of lemonade. Sugar high!
