Today we read about a girl named Iris. We made a map. We played with our best friends. We found a new book by our author of the month, Kevin Henkes. We played in centers. Brandon had a good day today. We had fun in music. We used the shakers in music.

Friday

We chanced our names in computer class. We wrote a letter to an illustrator. His name was Kevin Henkes. He wrote Lilly's Purples Plastic Purse and Chrysanthemum. We had so much fun. We finally got to do social studies.

A Good Day

This morning we met our reading buddies. Mrs. Short's Shining Star are our reading buddies this year. Every Thursdays we will read books with them. We also illustrated our Camper book today. We all think we had a pretty good day.

Together all day

We had a exciting day. We listened to music from books. We practiced the rules in all places. our rules are Just show respect. Enter ready. Take responsibility. Stay safe. Michaela says it was an exciting day because it was the first real day of school. Shelby found some of her friends in her class.

Finally here

We have just finished our first day of school. I was so excited to meet all my students and their families. I am looking forward to a great week with you. This week we will focus on learning the rules and procedures in the classroom, as well as, getting to know each other better. In math, we will be reviewing addition facts. Social studies will start out with learning about communities and rules. Everyone has a break from spelling this week.

Getting ready for a new school year

I hope everyone is having a great summer. I can't wait to see all my new students. I hope you are ready for an adventure.

Things Change

Today is Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Everybody goes through changes. We grow older. We move to a different school or town. We even change friends. Why are some changes difficult? Noah says that friends moving would be difficult because you would miss them. Samantha thinks that moving to a different town would be hard because you might not be able to take everything that you love with you. Anthony says that moving to a new place would be hard when you have to change things like not having pets anymore. Gracie says not seeing your family would be hard if we moved away.
