Fairy Tale Ball - 1st Grade
During the fairy tale unit that the first graders study in school, the children compare and contrast, sequence, retell, recreate, and analyze characters from fairy tales. We also review point of view as we read a variety of fairy tales. After reading several fairy tales, the children will pick a favorite fairy tale character to dress up as. Our culminating activity will be the Fairy Tale Ball. The Fairy Tale Ball will take place on March 29, 2018. Please refer to your teacher's newsletter for additional information or email Ms. Sandi Martinez.

Safety and Security
All schools have safety and security plans. The plans are designed with the help of school security and support staff members, as well as local law enforcement, emergency management, and public health officials. Plans are reviewed and updated regularly. These plans include procedures to respond to critical incidents such as tornados, medical emergencies and criminal acts. All staff members are trained on procedures to handle issues related to safety and security.
