My favorite thing about teaching 1st grade is guiding the process of learning to read. Helping students form a positive lifelong relationship with reading and having fun makes all of our hearts happy. You may not see the smiles this year, but you sure can feel them! -Mrs. MacEachern

Today in Mrs. Manley’s third grade class students presented their animal reports they had been working on all week. Students used their Chromebook to research facts about their animal, including its appearance, diet, and habitat. After submitting their research to Mrs. Manley, students created a pamphlet type display which they presented to their class. These Bulldogs did an amazing job!
