The new school year has gotten off to a great start. My students are catching on quickly about how to go about our daily routines and the different ways we do things here in first grade. We have started off the school year talking about the Olympics. On Wednesday, we made maps to show where the Olympics were taking place. Yesterday, we made Olympic torches. Today, we will be making Olympic flags.
Yesterday, we celebrated Lily's birthday. She turned seven. She brought her birthday book and we shared it with the class. She brought Strawberry Shortcake: School Friends. It was a cute book about being friends and helping friends.
Here are some pictures of our Olympic torches. Enjoy!
