Our First Week

Welcome to our 1st blog post of the year! I wanted to share a few of the things we did and learned about in class last week. We started the week by getting to know each other using our me in a nut shell bags. The kids loved sharing and found things that they have in common. We also started to work on our classroom reading procedures called the Daily Five. So far we have learned about read to self and picking good fit books. Later this week we will be learning about read to someone and working on writing. Below you will find some pictures showing the kids practicing read to self. We are up to reading for 8 1/2 minutes without stopping.  Our goal for tomorrow is 9 minutes!







We have also started working on our school behavior or  PBIS (for more info see website page). The kiddos have learned about behavior on the playground, in the lunch room, in the hallways, in the bathrooms,
and in the classroom. Below you will find pictures of some of the things we have done.
