I know I have been awful at keeping up with my posts and I apologize for that. But here are a few sneak peaks of our classroom after eight days of students (or like I like to say 8 days of love).
Here is our word wall with a few review sight words and some of our friends names. Everyday we discuss one or two friends names, sing a song with the name, clap, stomp, jump, and cheer the syllables in their name. Then we write a quick shared writing and we retire their name to the word wall!
Below the word wall is our quiet place. Everybody makes mistakes and just needs to take a break sometimes. We discussed what our favorite quiet places were, drew a picture, and hung them up in our classroom quiet place.
Our birthday graph! The kids love this! We each decorated a cupcake with our name and birthday on it. Then all together we built the graph. As you can see January and July win with four birthdays!
Finally, our hopes and dreams. We all discussed what our hopes and dreams were for first grade. Most of us wanted to read chapter books, count to 100, count money, subtract, and learn all of our sight words. Then we created hot air balloons with our hope and dream and posted them on the bulletin board!
That's all for now! I can not express how lucky I am to have such a bright, adorable, and spunky class. It is going to be a fabulous year!
