1st Grade had a very special visitor in their classroom! 📚🐷
Mrs. Schultz joined the class today to read the fun story, If You Give a Pig a Pancake. The students loved listening and following along with the silly adventures in the book.
After the story, Mrs. Schultz surprised each student with their very own little pig to adopt! 🐖 Over spring break, the students will name their pig and take it along on their adventures. They will write a short story about all the fun things their pig did during the break.
We can’t wait to hear about the pigs’ spring break adventures! Thank you, Mrs. Schultz, for spending time with 1st grade and making today so special.
