We had a great first day at Franklin School! The rain held off for an outdoor lineup. It felt good to see so many parents and students mingling and catching up after the summer. Once the bell rang, students started their day with Morning Meetings. The Morning Meeting activity in 1st grade was “Hickety Pickety Bumble Bee”. It got students on their feet, learning each other’s names and building their learning communities. 5th graders then transitioned to Spanish with Señor Vazquez.
