We are off to a wonderful start this year! I think today was the smoothest start ever in first grade! 

We worked hard on completing our time capsules this morning. We measured our height with yarn, made handprints, made a self portrait, and filled in some information about some of our favorite things. We will tuck these away until the last day of school and see how much we grow and improve this year. How exciting! 


 After reading No, David by David Shannon, we began our discussion of citizenship and following rules. The kids loved the story Officer Buckle and Gloria, too! We will continue working on rules for the remainder of the week. 


The kids got to "play" with some math games during small group instruction today. Math is sounding pretty good right now...play games, really? Yep, games - who knew that playing games could be a learning experience all at the same time! 

We finished a very busy day with recess and music with Ms. Dolfini. We are off to a great start! I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! Get some rest...I know that I need it!
