Kathy Clark, Mrs. Betty Kunshek, and Mrs. Kathy Wilbert First Day of School Students are invited to bring a friend along on the first day of school as things go a lot smoother when sharing time with a friend. Students take their bears on a teddy bear walk which introduces the children to all the rooms they will encounter during the school day. They are at the same time looking for their teachers' bear who has somehow also taken a tray of her cookies. Along the way, a picture of the bear with directions to the next room are read by the children.
First grade is really fun sharing it with a friend.
Since 1984, the first graders have invited their grandparents to visit their classrooms. There is an exchange of stories of schools of old compared to today. Grandparents have taught songs they learned and the old games they played. The first graders have presented a short program of songs and poems. They also serve their grandparents cookies and punch.
