1^st Grade Launching Parade

This past Friday all first graders participated on a celebratory parade around school. All first graders have worked so hard launching their Reader’s and Writer’s workshops. The last 3 weeks they’ve learned different ways to become “Super” Readers and Writers! Students created a sandwich board with their favorite book and their best writing. Students were so excited about this project.

“We had a parade because we did readers & writers workshop so good. It was fun! My favorite part was seeing my friend in 2^nd grade when we walked around the school.”  –Kenna (Maneri)

“This is so fun!”– Jonathan (Nguyen)

“I was so nervous Mrs. McCarthy but it was because I was excited!”- Wesley  (McCarthy)

All our “Super” first graders lined up to start their parade around 9:00. We walked all through the hallways of our school, Cimarron Elementary. Teacher and students lined up the hallways and cheered on our “super” first graders.

“My favorite part was when we got to drink apple juice!” -Benjamin  (Maneri)

“I felt so happy because I liked showing off my work. My favorite part was walking through the kindergarten hallway.” -Aiden (Maneri)

“This was the best day ever!” – Presley (Nguyen)

Following the parade, all first graders and first grade teachers gathered in the LGI for an apple juice toast. Each student received a cup of apple juice and Mrs. Plut gave a toast for this wonderful celebration. We all said “cheers!” to becoming super readers and writers,“cheers!” to an exciting year ahead; “cheers!” for our love of Reading and Writing!

The first graders finished the celebration by sitting with a friend and sharing their sandwich board and telling them all about their favorite book and best writing.
