It has been so wonderful this week beginning to get to know each of your children. They are a fabulous group!
This week we did some activities to begin learning about each other. We drew self portraits which you can see right outside of our classroom on the bulletin board. We created a "Classroom Promise" together and made hands with our names to sign it. We also came up with a hope or dream for this year in school. These are displayed on the line in our classroom. We also got together as a whole team several times and heard stories, played games and had various greetings that we did as we try to learn names and get to know one another. Students are excited to be able to go between rooms for Choice Time that we will begin slowly next week.
Friday folders went home today with our class schedule and September share in it. Folders are due back by next Thursday. They may bring them back to school sooner if they would like as there is no homework to be returned. Homework will begin after we have had our Curriculum night which is Wednesday, September 17th. It will begin in our team space at 5 pm and then we will head to the cafeteria with all other first and second grade parents. This date is incorrect on the school calendar. It had to be changed and was never updated on the calendar.
I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend. I look forward to seeing all of your children again on Tuesday.
Have fun,
Nancy
