Happy birthday 🎈🎂🎈










The school year is winding down, & Ms Simpson's 1st & 2nd grade students are enjoying each day by celebrating with an ABC countdown.
Today was "O for Orange" Day. We wore orange, read "The Orange Splot", and had a few warm-up pages that celebrated "orange".
Yesterday, they got to choose a new name for "N for Name" day. They loved writing letters to friends & loved ones (and learning about the parts of a letter) on "L" day. We have also enjoyed (I) ice cream, learned a new "E"xercise (Tae Bo kids), and wore (H) hats to school!
What a great memory, and a great group of kids!
