Mrs. Fox’s and Ms. James’ first grade classes are working hard to improve their reading fluency. After independent reading of non-fiction stories about animals, they celebrated with a polar bear and pjs party. In addition to having lunch in their classroom, they saved polar bears trapped in the ice! Keep up the good reading, first grade!
Congratulations Ethan and Haley!
