Our First Weeks Together

Welcome to my blog! I am so excited for this year! We have had a great first couple of weeks together. We have been learning rules, procedures, and expectations. We are slowly getting into more of a routine.

We are learning about the Daily 5 which includes independent reading, partner reading, writing, word work, and listening to reading. This is a management system in which the kids learn to be independent workers while I meet with reading groups. We should be up and running in the next two weeks.

We celebrated two birthdays in August! Happy birthday to Darcy and Alex.

Last week we worked on a retelling activity. The kids worked together to illustrate each page of our class book. There are some great artists in room 4. The illustrations were amazing!

Our classroom theme is "Hollywood and Rockstars." Check out our famous stars of room 4!
