First COL of 2012

On Wednesday we had Ezra’s first Celebration of Learning for first grade. Last year there were three of these but they’ve cut it down to two this year, and we’ve been anxiously awaiting this first one.

We started in his Literacy classroom. He read to us from his journal.

This one is the Listening Match (Bruce had a good time with it).

He brought out his folder (continuing the Angry Birds theme that runs throughout his life).
