Picture Day!

Today was picture day! The kids have been looking forward to it all week! They kept asking when picture day is and saying they were so excited for Friday, picture day. Some of the first questions I had this morning was when we were going to get our pictures taken. They waited patiently in line to get their picture taken. They stepped right up to the colored feet on the floor and smiled big for the camera. Thankfully our pictures were taken in the morning so we did not ruin our nice outfits from lunch! We can't wait to see how our pictures turn out!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

We have gotten off to a great start for the school year. The kids are settling into the routine of daily life in first grade. We have started learning about living and nonliving things. We began reading groups. We jumped right in to addition with math. We went to the library this week to check out books for the first time. The kids are adjusting well. Each day, the routine becomes a little bit more set in place. I can't wait to see where the year takes us!

First "Week"

Well, we have survived the first week of the new school year. I am glad our first week only consists of three days because I am exhausted. I always forget how far my kids come throughout the year. It hits me at the beginning of each school year when we are going through every detail of the room and the procedures. These are all things that will become second nature to the students. My new group of kids has done well so far getting used to the flow of the day and the way we do things in Room 2. We have a very lively, energetic, and spirited group of kids this year. I cannot wait to see how they grow and change throughout the year.
