Emerson students were visited by some special guests in these past two weeks. Last Friday, we celebrated "High Five Friday" by inviting the CCC boys Basketball team to get our students pumped for a day of learning. Also, yesterday, the CHS musical cast brought a shortened version of their show for our students to watch. Our students love when we have "special guests" in the building!

Ms. Lyon's first grade class learned about fables. They learned "the grass isn't always greener on the other side," and to "be happy with what you have."
Ms. Lyon read the story of The Two Dogs to her students, and then the students took turns reading the stories to their partner.
Tune in next week as we move on up to second grade!
