Hello! Wow! What a week it has been. We have learned a lot and also perfected a lot of our routines! The kiddos have done a great job!
We have learned all kinds of letters in our phonics lessons including n, o and t! We have learned about reading to someone and reading to self for our Daily 5 and also have learned about our expectations for 1st grade writing and 1st grade pictures for Writer's Workshop. In math we have learned about 5 groups and how to make numbers greater than 5 by making a 5 group and some more ones! We have also read lots of books about the alphabet and are becoming rock stars with our letters!
I am so proud! We are doing FABULOUS in first grade!
BUT...
there are a few minor things we need to work on...
1. bathroom--our behavior in the bathroom hasn't been the greatest! We need to remember to use 1 pump of soap, 1 paper towel and that we go in, go to the bathroom and get out!
2. We also need to work on blurting out. We have RULE #2: Raise your hand for permission to speak and leave your seat! This is one rule we need to work on! I love that we have so much to share and say, but it is so hard to listen to everyone if we are all talking at once!
Thank you so much for all your help and cooperation! Parent communication and involvement is key to everyone's success!
