Writing Celebration in First Grade!


We had a very fun and busy week this week!  We ended this wonderful week with a special celebration of our nonfiction writing unit: an animal research project that was also connected to our organisms science unit.  The students did such an amazing job with every aspect of this large project!! 
 
Thank you to all who were able to attend and help us celebrate our hard work!

Check out our Chatterpix tech project!  A huge thank you to Mr. Shaun Langevin for helping us create these!!
