First Full Week

We made it through our first full week of school.  It has been a great week.  The children are doing a great job establishing routines.

Literacy

We have been hard at work learning our new centers.  The first two centers we have learned about are "Read to Self" and "Read to Someone".  The children established what is expected for each center, modeled the right and wrong way (their favorite!) and worked on increasing our stamina.  Here are some photos of "Read to Someone".

                                    

Writer's Workshop

We have begun writer's workshop.  We have learned how to plan out a small moment story.  The children have done a great job coming up with true things that have happened to them.

Math

In math we have been working on counting objects efficiently.  We have been working on using ten frames to help organize and count objects.  Below are two friends who put their counters in ten frames.

  Behavior Chart

We have begun a class behavior chart.  It is focused on students using expected behavior.  Expected behavior could give you a clip up.  Unexpected behavior could give you a clip down.  It is a very flexible system so there is always a way to work on changing unexpected behavior.

I will explain more about it at Parent Night.
