Welcome to First Grade!

Greetings and Welcome to First Grade! Thank you for taking the time to read our classroom blog. I will be updating the blog daily detailing all of the happenings of our day. When I can, I will post pictures of the projects we do in the classroom. 

Our first day in first grade was a success. After settling in and unpacking our supplies (thank you for everything), it was time to start the fun. We read Chrysanthemum and talked about how each one of us is unique. We then created a small booklet about ourselves. 

Next we read David Goes to School and talked about appropriate classroom behavior. We then came up with five classroom rules and promised to do our best to follow them. 

After lunch and recess outside, we practiced writing the letters of the alphabet and held our first Math Meeting. During our Math Meeting time, we will review aspects of the calendar, practice place value concepts, and practice graphing. 

Then, we read Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes. After reading it, we wrote about something we do in our school shoes. 

Finally, we wrote about our favorite thing about the first day of school. Most said they enjoyed playing outside or Music class. 

I hope everyone has enjoyed their first day of school. Get some sleep; tomorrow will be another exciting day!
