This morning, first graders at South celebrated "Dot Day". We read the book of the same title by Peter H. Reynolds. We are focusing on being illustrators this week so we used the book to spark our imaginations! We even got to watch an interview with our featured author as we completed our task.

First graders at South spent their morning at the carnival! Bowling...ring toss...pong...golfing...a duck pond...a giant spinner and more! With each game came a task to complete to review some of our key first grade skills like addition, subtraction, place value, comparing, sight words and story writing. Thank you to our parents for the support running stations and donating items for our snack and drink station!
