Week in Review
This is where you will see a fun look back at our week! Remember, if you'd like to see your child's pictures on the blog, I need your permission. You can do that by completing this form

We had a fantastic start to first grade! We've been lucky enough to enjoy sunshine every day for recess.

On our first day, we experimented with MAGIC PLAYDOH. It was amazing! Each first grader got a ball of white playdoh as we read a poem that told us if a color appeared, we'd have a great year!
The kids were PUMPED to watch it change color!

And the kids made some clever sculptures afterwards :)
By Friday, we were ready to do one of my favorite beginning of the year projects. We listened to the book Recess Queen:

We created our own versions of a recess friend to share how we can treat others with kindness at school.




We also had the chance to explore some of the math manipulatives we'll be using this year.




The kids also had a chance to learn more about me. See if your first grader can remember what these things mean!


Have a great week!
