Last week, first grade had an action packed week! Not only was it the first week in December and frightfully cold, but it was also the busiest week of the year for our first graders. The week included the book fair, their musical with second grade, the fifth and sixth grade chorus concert, and a FIELD TRIP!
After months of practice, last Wednesday was the first and second grade musical, A Beary Merry Holiday! Students performed their show THREE times in just one day! They had a morning dress rehearsal, an afternoon performance, and an evening performance. The show was absolutely amazing! I am always amazed at what Ms. Clark can get students to do at such a young age! It is truly unbelievable!
The end of the week brought even more excitement when it was time for our field trip to Lewis University to see Elephant and Piggie’s We’re in a Play. First graders love to read and listen to stories from the Elephant and Piggie series, so this field trip was a no brainer. After having a performance of their own earlier in the week, students knew exactly what it feels like to put on a show for an audience and how to be a good audience member. Seeing the students’ faces light up with pure joy seeing some of their favorite stories come to life was incredible! The smiles and giggles were non stop throughout the show. It was the perfect way to cap off a big week in first grade!
