First Grade in Action

We have lots of fun on the playground with friends.

We even meet new friends there too!

When the weather is bad we have fun with friends indoors.

Lunchtime is great too!

Every Friday we can order hot lunch from a different restaurant. YUM!

It is fun to have an 8^th grade BIG SIB.

We do lots of things together with our sibs all year.

At the beginning of the year we have a get-acquainted day. It is so much fun!

We celebrate the feast of Guardian Angels with our Big Sibs at a prayer service in church. We receive a Guardian Angel medal to wear. We learn that our angels watch over us every day.

Deacon Schroeder takes us to the sacristy in Church to show us many things there.	We all get a turn to be V.I.P. or Extra Special Person and tell our class all about us.

Grandparents Day is great fun ! Our grandmas and grandpas and other special people in our family get to come to school for a day. We go to Mass together, share a snack, and walk around our school and see what I do every day.

Our favorite part is when they come to our classroom.

Going to the computer lab to learn all about the computers is one of our favorite things to do.	We wait for our turn to take Arthur home for a weekend and write about what we did when he visited with our family.

For Halloween fun we have LOTS OF LAUGHS DAY!

Everyone brings something to wear that will make us all laugh!

We have special Art fun when our parent Art Volunteers come once a month to teach us about a particular artist.	Music class with Ms. Delaney, our Music teacher, is great singing fun.

We go to Gym class every week with our Physical Education teacher, Mr. Lutz. WOW! We have to take a break after all that exercise!	We love going to our library to have Ms. Ruther, our librarian, read to us. We even get to take home some of our favorite books every week.

Christmas is special in 1^st grade. We paint big Christmas trees to hang in our hall. Our room moms plan a party for us too.		We make Baby Jesus’ bed soft for Christmas by adding a piece of hay each time we do a good deed.

We decorate our own special Christmas trees with our BIG SIBS. Santa even stops by to see us.

At Christmas we are in the Christmas Concert. We have lots of fun being on stage. We sing special songs for everyone to help them celebrate Jesus’ Birthday in a special way.

As part of our Christmas Concert we have a service project we do to help others. This year we collected personal care items to share with families who go to the Holy Family Pantry in Price Hill.	We dress as shepherds and have a Las Posada celebration with our Big Sibs.

The Everybody Counts Program teaches us about people who have disabilities. We learn many things about people with visual impairments.

On Valentine’s Day we deliver valentines to everyone in our classroom. We make a special one for our family too.

Our pastor, Father Armstrong, comes to our classrooms to share special things about Jesus.		Our friend from the Public Library comes to share books with us each month.

We have a “Reading is Fun Day” with our big sibs. We read to them and they read to us.

Other events that are a part of first grade fun are several of the “ All-school” events.

Our favorites are Jog-a-thon and Olympic Day.

Jog-a-thon is a special time when we get exercise and help raise money for our school.

Olympic Day is a day when the entire school goes to Schott Field for lots of exercise and fun.

We have a great time in FIRST GRADE at St. Antoninus!
