We've made many memories together already and it's time to clean up my phone and share them with our blog visitors!
Here we go!
We have about seven words that we're done with when it comes to writing. Our goal is to use more sparkly, descriptive, fancy words instead of words like: cool, nice, fun or bad. So what's a teacher to do when a kiddo like Joey comes to school wearing a sparkly shirt with the word "nice" on it! Thanks for the chuckle Joey! #imsoconflicted
As part of being good members of a community, we're working on two goals right now: reciprocating when asked "How are you?" in a conversation, and using "my pleasure" when it feels right. It's so heart-warming to see the boys and girls engage with each other this way and think more critically about how they communicate.
We've also had some fun learning all about the importance of persevering and collaboration when we spent time working on jigsaw puzzles. It was a great opportunity to practice the skills we all need when we encounter challenges where solutions do not come easily to us and we need to stay cool and compromise with others.
On Thursday, we celebrated Fall Y'all day and made "Friendship Mix"! Each ingredient was an important reminder of things in our lives we are grateful for. Making our mix together was a delicious way to reflect on our blessed we all are.
A big thanks to Mrs. P, our classroom assistant, for capturing this part of our day for us!
We're working our way through our math songs too! So far, we know the counting by 3 and 4s song. This week, we started on the 6s song!
Thank you to all the boys and girls and their families for a great start to the school year! We're well on our way to a very successful and memorable year together!
