Wow! It was so much fun meeting my class this week! I love the first week of school, when the students come with such enthusiasm and anticipation! It is always exciting to meet new faces and see some familiar friends. We had a very busy week, although it was short, learning classroom rules, and expectations. We will be practicing these rules all year, so please ask your child if he/she remembers them!
I introduced the kids to Daily 5 this week, and amazingly enough, they all remembered it from last year! We did a whoppin' 7 minutes and 27 seconds of read to self! That was very impressive! We will continue building up our stamina and introducing more aspects of the Daily 5 next week!
It has been a wonderful week, and I do believe that I have an exceptional class!
Thank you for all your support at home!
