The Fourth Day of School.

The class is looking at our class blog. We just read the first two posts, and decided to write a post together. We are working on completing our Math Diagnostics. Some of us think they are easy, some of us think they are hard a few of us think they are fun. We are having a great time in First Grade. Today is our first day of resource. We will be having Art 2 in the classroom. We can't wait. This post was created by the students in Mrs. Brown's class. Have a great fourth day of school!

The First Day of First Grade

Wow, what a great day! I had the privilege of welcoming 24 smiling faces this morning. We read my Favorite book from my childhood, Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. The children then wrote about their impressions of the book. The children were able to go to a concert, great music and little bit of dancing ensued. Thanks Mrs. Phillips for the awesome concert. After lunch we went out to the playground, always fun. We took a tour of the school, so that everyone knows their way around and knew where to go for dismissal. The children also received a gift from the PTA. Each child received a new T-shirt, designed by our very own Mrs. Willet. What a terrific first day. I look forward to really diving into Readers' and Writer's Workshops, as well as Math Investigations and Science experiments. It is sure to be a year filled with learning and fun. Here's to great beginnings.

School Starts!

Friday was an exciting day. We had orientation and had the opportunity to meet our classmates. I was thrilled to see so many happy and excited faces. The children were well behaved for their short visit to their new classroom, and enjoyed exploring their new surroundings. The parents were able to see the inside of the classroom where the children will be spending so much of there time, and were able to get a preview as to what to expect in First Grade. I am thrilled to have such a great new class. Tomorrow is the first day. I can't wait. It will be a year filled with a great deal of learning and fun. It's only beginning!
