Happy 1 Month Anniversary!


We have been in school for one month now and it's amazing how much we have accomplished.  We've made new friends, learned how to be first graders, built our reading stamina, and developed new skills.

Sharing is a big part of class.  We share work we done, we share information about ourselves, share ways to solve problems, and we share materials.  Here is some of our sharing in class.

Sharing her pepper with the class.

Sharing with us how she solved the math problem using her head and fingers.
Miss Haizlip shared a new phonics song with the class.

Sharing our ideas to help define what important means.

As part of our Reader's Workshop, we do The Daily 5 and learned how to properly share during Read to Someone.








Making new friends and working with others is also important to us.  We work with different teachers and different students whenever we can.

We made so many new friends this week when the 9th graders came in to interview us for our Little Heroes stories.  We had a great time getting to know one another and we are looking forward to the great stories featuring us!































We also learned some new skills this week in reading, math, and writing!
