The Trinity Times
News from 1A – MRS. Vetter’s class
I am so excited to be teaching first grade this year and we have certainly been off to a great start!
First, we would like to welcome Alex, Christian, and Travis to our school and our class. They have made so many wonderful friends already.
First grade has been working very hard. We have been doing a ton of reading and just finished a math chapter on addition. We’ve also learned about being a good pal, storms, what scientists do, being a good citizen, our families, and nonliving things. Whew! We will have a super smart bunch of first graders by June!
In addition to learning, we’ve had some fun, too. We’ve celebrated birthdays for Vivich, Sarah, and Christian. Christian was also our first Star of the Week! Laila will be our star this week and she is so excited. We enjoyed making portraits of ourselves for back to school night and many of us have gone to the treasure chest for good behavior.
We have accomplished so much already and we have so many other great things to look forward to. What a fantastic year it’s going to be!
