Our first week of school!!

We had a WONDERFUL first week of school. The children have been so excited about school! This week we learned our rituals and routines, went to some of our resource classes; computer lab, Media Center and P.E. We learned about earning good behavior tickets, had indoor and outdoor recess and even ate lunch with our teachers everyday! We have been reviewing our letters and sounds, learned all about the fun Math materials we will use in Math Investigations, wrote a story every day in Writer's Workshop and learned all about reading books.

Next week we will continue our work with letters and sounds, continue to practice using Math materials, we will learn how to make our stories even more exciting and will be given our "Just Right Reading Book Bags" so we have books to read!

Homework will be sent home on Monday. Please help your child complete it and send it back to school by Friday. You should have started to record books in your child's book log in the back of the agenda. We encourage you to exceed the 45 minimum books every nine weeks. We will have Art and Music this week for the first time and will try eating lunch on our own in the cafeteria. Treasure box will be given to children who have atleast 5 good behavior tickets.

Don't forget that Open House is fast approaching and we would love to see you there. We will be discussing important information about the school year and things we will be doing in our class. We also will be sending home Scholastic book orders soon and encourage you to take advantage of the low priced books. By buying books for your child, you help Ms. Burns and I to get materials for our classroom which helps us out a lot!

We hope your child has had as much fun as we did in the first week of school. Take a look at some pictures from our first week of school and feel free to leave comments at the bottom of the page!!

As always, Thank you so much for all of your support!
Ms. Ryan and Ms. Burns :)
