First Week of School

Wow! What a fabulous first week of school!! I believe I have been given the best group of kids this year! :)
This week has been packed full of activities, learning, and routines. Because there is so much to tell you about the week I will be adding posts giving more details about our first week learning over the next week.

This week we learned about:
Daily 5--our Language Arts time. We practiced our stamina for Read to Self throughout the week and begain Working on Writing at the end of the week. We will continue this practice until we understand the expectations of all of the activities. We still have to learn about Read to Someone, Working on Words, or Listening to Reading.
Bucket Fillers (social studies)--being kind to others. Understanding that what you say and do to others effects their feelings.
Classroom Rules (social studies)-- expectations for our classroom.
Math--Problem solving practice, we took a math facts tests and a math assessement. The assessment will be used to help me put students into small groups for math.
Science--what do scientists do, safety rules and expectations for our classroom experiements, created our science notebook to keep a record of our data and observations from experiements.

Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year!

This is a Prezi ("Presentation") that I created for back to school. I'm so excited for our school year to start! We are going to have so much fun learning together!

Bye Bye Summer, Hello New School Year!

I've had a wonderful summer--time with my fun nieces, family and friends, vacations, and flip flops! :)
Even though I will miss the fun and sometimes lazy days of summer I am so excited for the new school year to begin! I ventured into the classroom earlier this week to look at the blank canvas:

I'm so excited how much it has changed in just a few days and can't wait for the new class to venture in for a fabulous new year!!
