Wow! The first week went by so quickly. This week we not only learned class rules and procedures, we reviewed letters, kindergarten sight words, writing sentences, and we learned about patterns. I read many books to the students this week. Our favorites were "First Day Jitters" and "The Crayon Box That Talked."
What a fantastic first day of school! First of all, there were no tears - from the students nor the parents. :) The students came in ready to learn. We read two stories today. The first one was "First Day Jitters". Ask your child who Sarah, the main character in the story, is. The second story was "The Night Before First Grade".
This year we will be using Thinking Maps to help organize our thoughts. We completed our first map today about ourselves.
At the end of the day, we went to music and then went home. I am exhausted, but happy that the first day went so well. Thank you parents for helping to make the day a success by sending in necessary supplies.
