First Week of School

Our first week of school was wonderful!!! It felt like we never left. It was nice to start school knowing most of the children already. I believe not only for me but also the students in the class. It's great to have them back. We have two new students who started in our class; Hailey and Jay Jay. Everyone did a wonderful job of welcoming them to our classroom. We are also meeting new and old friends from the first grade classroom. We have done some team building with them outside playing some games. We are even all signing in for lunch in one classroom. We will alternate the classroom monthly between here and Mrs. KillKelley's room. Check out the classroom promise we all agreed on together and then signed. Next week we will begin our Community Unit. We will be launching our Reading and Writing Workshops through the Red Clover books. We will also be starting our first Math unit entitled "Sorting, Patterning and Numbers". Don't forget our Curriculum Night next Thursday, Sept. 6th at 5 pm. Have a wonderful weekend, Nancy
