Phew! We made it through our first full week. I’m sending home some tired children. I love the enthusiasm of this class! They are loving learning some new, silly songs, and they beg to have more and more stories read to them. They’ve done a great job of learning new names, new routines etc. This week they have been writing and reading every day, begun the math program and completed several Social Studies tasks about themselves. You can see their work on the walls next Wednesday night when you come for the Parent Night.
In Grade 1 we learn increase our reading stamina. To do that, we read quietly for longer and longer periods each day. This week, they also chose 'book nooks' which are quiet areas in the room to sit and read for 15 minutes. They do this very happily - and I love the quiet time too!!
Happy Birthday – this week we celebrated 3 birthdays! Amanda turned 6 in July, Jemma turned 6 on Wednesday, and Samantha turned 7 yesterday. As you will see in these photos, some children had a lot of fun with Jemma's chocolate-frosted cupcakes...
