K. D. Markley Elementary - Ms. Tilles' First Grade Class

We are in First Grade at K.D. Markley Elementary School. Our school is in Malvern, Pennsylvania. It is a suburb, so we live in neighborhoods with lots of backyards and parks. It is a fun town to live in. We have parades on holidays. There are lots of activities like soccer, Brownies, and Cub Scouts.

Our town is close to the city of Philadelphia. We love to cheer for the Phillies and the Eagles. There are a lot of museums and cool historical sites to see in Philadelphia. There is even a zoo!

There are 21 friends in our class and we work hard to be welcoming to everyone. Our teacher is named Miss Tilles. Everyday, we have Reader’s Workshop and Writer’s Workshop. We have Math, Work Stations, Social Studies, and Science too. We love to go to our special classes like Art and Gym. We have two pets- a hermit crab and a fish. Our favorite part of the day is Morning Meeting, where we greet each other and start the day off smiling!
