Mrs. Drolet's First Grade Explorers!

Thursday was an exciting day! It was STEM day, and the students worked together to create a habitat for an animal that would satisfy its needs. They worked hard and did a great job!

Also great news to share... We got a new student on Thursday and we are all so excited! The students have been so kind to him and have been making sure he knows what to do in the classroom. 😊
