First Days of First Grade

Our Class!


















This past week we spent time getting to know one another and establishing our routines for the year. Establishing classroom norms and expectations takes at least 6 weeks and monitoring all year long. 

In math we are learning how to use materials respectfully and are learning to skip count.


      


 







We are learning about monarch butterflies and recording what we see as scientists.



We are also learning how to read and take care of the books from our "theme" bookshelf.




Not everything we do can be captured in photos!  Here's a list of things you can talk to your child about to learn more about our days at school:

  • GoNoodle
  • Writing Workshop- we are writing stories about things we do or things that happen to us
  • August "Chicken Soup with Rice" Poem
  • Self Portraits
  • PE
  • Music
  • Library
  • Computer Lab-Kidspiration
  • Whole School Assembly on Friday last week
  • "Take a Break"-how we use it in our room
  • Our three school wide expectations
