1st Full Week...success!

With our first full week under our belts, I am proud to say that we are coming together as a cooperative learning community really well :) I've overheard many kind words and saw lots of helping hands and polite gestures from one Firstie to another. So awesome to see! 

We have been working really hard at learning how the Daily 5 works so we can begin guided reading groups as soon as possible. We also had lots of fun making a super long chain of number cards from 1-100. 

Can't wait to see meet you all next Tuesday at 7:00 for back to school night. 

Funny Face Firsties

Well made it through our first week with a lot of laughs and fun to go along with our learning :) One of the kiddos' favorite activities was the find a friend game. They each had a chart with categories like: find a friend with different color eyes than you, or one who likes pizza or one who can tie their shoes. When they found a friend that fit the category they would ask that friend to sign their name. Their favorite (and mine) was to find a friend who can cross their eyes or roll thier tongue! Hilarity ensued as we were all cracking up watching each other try it! 

I am so excited to have such a fun loving group of kiddos.  Looking forward to a great year!

Yay...new Firsties!
