My Project

We love to end our year sending our students off on a fun adventure during the last weeks of first grade.

Camp Skeeter is on adventure we hope our first graders will remember for years to come!

All of the requested supplies will be used throughout the five different thematic days we will have during the week.

We will learn about our earth and use the flowerpots and seeds to brighten our community as we also learn about caring for them.

We will use the notepads and wooden pens to journal about each day's adventures.

We will make pillowcases and have each friend autograph them as a forever memory of first grade.
