We have finished our 2nd week of school and we are starting to get to know each other a little better. We have started following our regular schedule for the most part. We began math, writer's workshop and reader's workshop along with our "All About Me/Community" unit. In reader's and writer's workshop we are in the beginning stages of getting used to routines and what it means to read and write. I have begun assessments in reading so that I can begin reading groups in a few weeks.
In math we are working on the first unit which focuses on numbers all around us. We made a popsicle graph of our favorite flavor of a twin pop and counted by 2s to see what the total number of popsicle sticks were in each row and total. We have also been practicing making tally marks and counting by 5s.
In our "All About Me/Community" unit, we are beginning to make butterflies that will tell information about each of us. When they are finished, they will hang in our rooms. Next week we will begin making collages on ipads to tell about ourselves.
Please remember to return your student information sheets and health forms to the front office.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,
Nancy

Welcome to a New School Year!
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

Happy Summer!!!
I can't believe the year is over. I want to thank all of you for letting me have the opportunity to teach your children this year. I am sad that I only got to spend this year with them. You have wonderful children and I will miss them very much!
There is a CD with a slideshow of pictures from our year together in your child's Friday folder. Please enjoy this. I showed it to the class today.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Please make sure to keep in touch.
Wishing You All The Best,
Nancy

This week we had the opportunity to plant in the garden with Vicky. We planted summer squash and zucchini. They are located in the boxes closest to the breezeway. Hopefully we will see them begin to sprout sometime next week. We got to water the gardens as well. Everyone had a great time doing this. They also got to taste chives from the garden if they wanted to.
Please check backpacks for a letter that went home about next week. I can't believe it is our last week together:(
Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
