Mrs. Koehn's class completed an activity today that required them to draw a picture of themselves and then write descriptive words about their characteristics. Then, Mrs. Koehn cut the papers apart and mixed them up, and distributed the descriptions to the class. The final step was for students to read the descriptions and match them to the correct picture of each student! #beingallwecanbe

First graders learn how to solve problems and how to work out disagreements with their friends during a lesson from the Second Step curriculum. Miss Fegan and Mrs. Koehn combine their classes when they teach this curriculum that addresses social and emotional growth. #beingthebestwecanbe.
