4th grade has loved First Chapter Friday! Miss Becca has even stopped in to be a guest speaker. We are getting quite good at rock paper scissors- trying out a full body version and a zombie version! All school recess and popcorn with our 1st grade buddies was a blast and our PBIS reward was fun learning to create friendship bracelets.
