A Successful First Week!

The first week of school is complete! The kids were wonderful and did an awesome job adjusting to a new grade and a new teacher!  This past week was mainly spent learning and practicing classroom rules and procedures!  We also worked on Math, started our "centers", and did assessments in Writing, Spelling, and Reading to see where each child is currently at developmentally!

Every morning we take attendance on the promethean board. When the kids come in they move their apple to either sack lunch or tray lunch to let me know they are here and what they are eating!  This has seemed to be quick, easy, allows for maximum instruction time, and the kids enjoy it!  Here is what it looks like..

Here are some pictures of the kids working in our centers!

We also sorted our shoes and classified them into different groups!

I thought it was funny that the girls lined their groups up and the boys just tossed theirs in a big pile! 

Remember we are still collecting box tops to help raise money for our school!  If you did not get a pouch to put your box tops in while at open house please send a note letting me know you need one !
It looks like this..


Students will start working to be chosen as Star Student this week!  This week the student I choose to be Star Student will be based on R-E-S-P-E-C-T!  Please talk to your child about what it means to be respectful and ways they could show respect to others at school and everywhere they go!  

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
