1st Grade

The week before CHRISTmas break was full of fun. I only have pictures from Monday when we had Polar Express day with the Kindergarten class. Thank you Mrs. Wilson for all you did and for the pictures and Pastor Buckhahn for reading the story. Wednesday the students did an amazing job singing at the CHRISTmas program. Thursday the students put their bowling skills into action with a field trip to Stardust, thank you Mrs. Duclos!!!! When we returned we had a surprise waiting for us...our candy grams were delivered.  Friday we started the 1/2 day with chapel where the 1st graders presented on Love and did so well telling about their pictures. Next up was craft day followed with cookie decorating with our 7th grade chapel buddies. We ended the day back in our own classroom playing CHRISTmas bingo. Whewwwwww!!!!!!! With that said I hope everyone enjoys their time off and I can't wait to see everyone in 2019 :)

First graders had the opportunity to visit the new library for the first time on Thursday. Thank you Mrs. Brandt and all the volunteers for all your had work and long hours to transition the library to the electronic database. During the visit Mrs. Brandt read a story to the kids, talked to them about her book kit. Students reached in the bag and pulled out an item that helped remind them of how to take care of their library book. The students then chose a book, found their new id card with school picture on it and checked out.

You may have heard that there is something different about Bethlehem, I see this being true everyday. This group is always high-fiving, hugging, smiling as they pass each other in the hallway. Today was just another example of the two grades interacting and enjoying being together. Watching and listening to the First and Seventh graders was just what I needed to get through the day.
