Great First Week!

What a great first week, your kids did a wonderful job getting back into the swing of the school routine. They were following directions and helping others when they did not understand. I was really proud of them.
This first week we had a wonderful time getting to know the friends we will be spending the next 10 months with. We interviewed a classmate, played "get to know you" games, and even went on a scavenger hunt in our classroom to get familiar with where to find things we need. We talked a lot about classroom procedures and rules and how in order to have a productive year we all need to work together and follow the rules and know the procedures. If you would also like to review this with your child, you can click on the bee on our home page.
The first few weeks in all subject areas will be spent reviewing concepts from the end of last year. I will also be assessing your children so that we can chart progress. We will continue building community by getting to know each other, our classroom and our school. Have a great weekend and I know the kids are worn out from our first 3 days so give them some extra hugs and let them sleep in!
