Welcome to First Grade!

I can't believe our first week together is already over! We have been busy creating our classroom community and getting to know each other. Your children are brilliant and precious and funny and adorable! They have worked super hard this week learning and following rules and procedures as we have launched reader's and writer's workshop. We have giggled over stories, celebrated a birthday and started counting the days in school. We are establishing our math routines such as number of the day, using manipulatives and playing math games together. It's a long week after having so much time off, but our lovebugs did a great job. Here are a few photos of the first week of first grade!
