First Graders celebrated BRAVE behavior by having a Camping Theme afternoon. We took a hike to look for birds and gather sticks for our "firewood." We read books and worked with clipboards in our tents in the classroom. We ate lunch to the sound of crickets on our Promethean board. Mrs. Davis' class even ate S'mores for a snack if we reached our AR goal for the 4th quarter. They kept saying that it was "The BEST day EVER!!"
We had a fun "pool" party as a reward for 4th quarter here at Monroe! #bringonsummer #funatmonroe
First Grade went to the Petting Zoo today. We saw goats, a donkey, a Mallard duck, sleepy pigs, and a big fluffy rabbit. Mrs. Davis' Class liked them all especially the turtles. Thank you CW FFA for putting this on every year!!
