Good Afternoon Families!  Read below for some of the great things that happened in grade one this week!

"In Movement with a Message we learned some new moves from Rebecca and Rubix.  We learned 'Yo What's Up' and 'Bear.'  We played freeze dance and it was really fun!" Jake

"In journals we wrote about when it is hot out.  I wrote when it is hot out I like to play with water balloons.  I would put them in the pool!  I like to get slurpees and ice cream on a hot day too." Kalen
