Ms. Schmalzer's First Grade

Hello! It seems that summer is hanging around a little longer and it's very hot in our classroom! We are hoping it cools down towards the end of the week. Exciting news! We are picking lettuce and having our salad party tomorrow to celebrate! We will be putting new seeds in after. We are excited to compare how different plants grow in the machine. I'm sorry for the confusion of dress up days but as a school we decided to change them to match the district homecoming days. See the schedule before for the new dress up days.
