Mrs. Schaefer's class is excited about learning how to read and write stories. "We read every night to our parents and enjoy sharing what we have read to our classmates." It has been a busy month for these first-graders, with field trips to the fire station and flower shop. Mr. McGruff also visited school and talked to the class about the McGruff houses and ways to be safe. They are off to a great start in first grade.
