Today we started learning about what will happen during Reading Workshop. We took out our language games, found a partner, and set out to work! Here are pictures of the kids working on ABC matching games, rhyming games and others. There were lots of proud faces!
We also learned some new math games,
We also started our first unit of study on Insects. We used our bodies to act out the many parts of an insect.
And you wouldn’t believe the teamwork the kids used to complete this beautiful puzzle together!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Today we had a wonderful day in first grade welcoming in a whole new group of students. There were lots of smiles as children saw their old friends, sang songs, had snack together and got to know our new classroom a little bit. We did a special art project to help decorate the bulletin board. We wrote our very first stories about one happy thing we did this summer. We spent time exploring the math manipulatives in the classroom. We read a few books. We even got to go to Phys, Ed! That was a favorite.
Deb Brazeau is the teaching assistant who will be working in our classroom this year. Both of us are very excited to be spending the year learning and growing with your child!
Here are some photos of the classroom in action!
