Mr. Johnson's 1st Grade


1st grade has mastered the parachute!


K-2 Students

Our K-2 students are using the parachutes!  The parachute is a great tool to develop student fitness, team building, and vocabulary.  We are learning words such as left, right, clockwise and counter clockwise.

Quote of the day!
