First Day X 3

Our first three days were wonderful. We talked all about our 3 school rules (be safe, be respectful, be responsible), the clip-up chart, and practiced what to do during a fire drill or lock down. On Friday we had our first of 10 fire drills.

We also had a great time reading Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes and taking a tour of the school by following all of the notes that Pete left for us. It also helped us remember that we shouldn't worry about starting school. We will read a lot of Pete the Cat books over the year.

I am excited to have all 17 of our friends together next week. We will begin doing Handwriting Without Tears, meet our Alphafriends, and start to learn how to do our literacy and math stations. We will also begin our writing workshop. We will learn our first two word wall words a and I. Specials will start next week as well so please make sure to send in sneakers for our Physical Education class. Enjoy the long weekend!

  1. We love your blog Sarah! Thanks for the wonderful work you do! The school tour you gave while having the kids search for Pete was such a big hit with Caitrin! She reported it as being the "funnest" part of her day! She was quite unhappy about having to wait until tomorrow to return to school so she's very excited to get back to your classroom! Thanks again! Deanna
