East High Football Players Read to Us

We were lucky to have football players from East High come read books with us today. We had eleven players in our classroom! It was a great treat for them to share Halloween books with us. Thank you for visiting us, East football team!

First Quarter Conferences

First Quarter Conferences are wrapping up. I have very much enjoyed meeting you and discussing your child's academic progress in first grade. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions or concerns you may have; your child's agenda is a wonderful place for us to make those contacts with one another.

Those of you I have not yet arranged a conference with, please advise me of your earliest connivence as I am eager to meet with each parent. Your child's academic success is propelled by our joint commitment in their learning targets. I look forward to meeting you soon.

Pawsitive Behavior Day

As a reward for reaching 500 shout outs, school wide, we celebrated with an early Pawsitive Behavior Day. This time the theme was careers. First graders were lucky to have the opportunity to explore careers presented by each of the first grade teachers. Ms. White provided students within archeological dig where many treasures and fossils were uncovered. Students explored careers in music with Ms. Socha, and were able to perform their singing talents. They were invited to explore careers in law enforcement in Ms. McMurray's classroom with the help of Fletcher's police department representatives. Finally, in our classroom students were offered an unique experience in an effort to explore careers associated with flight. Ms. Pace and I built a life-size aircraft in the classroom that sat 22 passengers. We offered inflight entertainment and snacks as we red presented flight attendants. My father, Mr. Wilson was a guest in our classroom and spoke about careers in air traffic control. Of course security was of upmost concern, therefore no passengers were issued boarding passes or permitted on the aircraft without successfully passing through security.

During student's specials hour they were lead through a career fair where they learned about several more careers including paramedics, health care, technology, sports broadcasting, and many more!

We had a great day!
