Reminders

Hello,
We had a wonderful first week of school. The students are doing a good job learning the routines. Next week they will practice some more routines for our literacy block- Daily 5. They will also get on the laptops for the first time. We have the laptops on Wednesday afternoons. They will learn how to log in with their user name, password, and get onto the class blog. Please make sure your child has their headphones/ ear buds by Wednesday the 29th.

I look forward to seeing all of you on Tuesday August 28th for Curriculum Night. Please come to the classroom (room 22) at 6:30pm.

Here are some fun pictures of the students reading to their stuffed animal for "Read to Self" (one of the Daily 5 choices that they are learning about). They really enjoy reading to the stuffed animals.

Getting to Know our Classmates

We had fun getting to know our classmates the past few days. Today we continued to practice some daily routines. The students are doing a great job and are ready and willing to learn how to do things in first grade. I am so proud of them!

They sorted names by beginning letter, boys and girls, and letters in their name. Here are some fun pictures of their learning today. Enjoy :)

Using the "pens" to write their name on the board.

 Math- How many letters are in your name?

 Word Study- Cut, sort and glue.

First Day

The students had a wonderful first day of First Grade. Tomorrow is Spirit Day. Wear your Concord shirts.

Getting Ready for the First Day of School

Hello Families,
Hopefully by now you have received the Welcome Letter in the mail. If not, you should get it by tomorrow.  Please be sure to check out the past two posts. There is some really helpful info in each of those posts.

Here is a great link to check out for getting ready for the school year. You may want to save it so you can refer to it as the year progresses.
