Mrs. Reese's Class

 

 

Welcome to first grade!  This week will be full of firsts:  the first time we sit at our own desk,  the first time we go to the cafeteria for lunch,  the first time we stay for all day school.  It is so exciting!  It is a year of learning new things, developing responsibility, and gaining independence in fun creative ways.  Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for an amazing year!
