We explored our math tools and different ways to represent 9!
Young Writers, New Beginnings
We wrote about our first day adventures in our first first grade writers workshop!
Shoes are…. Optional
It typically takes a bit longer for this rumor to be be revealed, but this year it happened week one! Student "My neighbor said you can take off your shoes in this class. Can we?" Me "Sure, but…" "Justin jumps up and places his shoes neatly by the door (keeping with Japanese culture) and shoes were off! The catch is to take off your shoes you must be about to tie them!

Where's My Seat? Work mats are educational placements. Work mats provide students with literacy resources on the front and math resources on the back. Family photos are also added to the mat to help students feel more comfortable and help inspire writing ideas. Work mats are placed out each morning indicating where the student will sit for the day. This helps me to place students where they will be most successful. | Media Center Kids took their first visit to the media center as first graders this week. Media Center visits in first grade are on a flex schedule. Kids can go in groups of 4 during independent workshop time. This provides students 3-5 times per day they visit the media center. This year students will be able to check out 2 books, as long as the other 2 are returned. I suggest returning any books brought home from school to the book bag when finished reading. This will allow kids flexibility in visiting the media center. | Fire Drill! Friday was our first fire drill and all the kids were PROFESSIONAL! Exiting building quickly and waiting quietly- Way to go! |
