Students in Ms. Buttelwerth's first grade class recently completed a "Freeze and Write" activity! Students walked around the classroom while the music was playing and then when the music stopped they started writing on the paper closest to them! Each of the papers had this week's spelling words on it. This was a fun activity for the first graders to practice their spelling words! Go lil' Jays!
