Mrs. Osborne's First Grade Classroom
Spread the Good News
WHAT IS
A FIRST GRADE CLASS?
A first grade class is a group of children, six years old, some
of which look, act, think, behave or grow in the same way. Its members
are all victims of a magical age during which they pass from five-year-old
babies to seven-year-old
children. It comes with assorted needs
ranging form Kleenex to affection. It has stars in its eyes and loose
teeth in its mouth; questions on its mind, Band-Aides on its knees,
forgiveness in its heart, and peanut butter sandwiches for
lunch.
A first grade class is able to put more things on a
teacher’s desk during the first minute of school than any other class can
accomplish in a full day. Some of the items are: two bouquets of flowers,
six wilted leaves, a piece of birthday cake, a pretty stone, three records, a
favorite storybook. a turtle, a broken thermos, and a nest of three newly
hatched dead birds. A first
grade class is able to steal all the teacher’ s time with just an evenly divided unp lanned effort; a s kinned knee, lost
lunch, broken zipper, measles breakout, untied shoes, two small boots,
conference request, and needed affection for one with a little brother or
sister. These all help to fill the day
nicely.
A first grade class spends
much time on a teacher’s feet, but more upon her thoughts. It can
turn her stomach during lunch and her thoughts during supper. It spills
milk on her dress and satisfaction in her soul. It leaves her with a
headache at three o’clock in the afternoon and greets her with a big
smile at eight o’clock in the morning. It brings noise during the
day and peace during the nights. It takes everything out of her but gives
far more back. A first grade class is the only one of its kind and the
Mrs. Osborne would not trade it for any
other!

ALL ABOUT IT!
Boys and
Girls! Let's "Spread the Good
News." In Palestine during the time of Jesus, shepherds
cared for the most important domestic animal, the sheep. They guided
their flock to grass and water. They protected their sheep from
predators. They knew each sheep and the sheep responded only to their
voice. You will learn that Jesus is like a good shepherd. He loves,
cares, and knows you each by name.
