What a
great first week!!
I want to say a quick thank you to all of you parents for all of
your support and words of encouragement this week! We had a wonderful first
week in Grade 1 and we are looking forward to many more even more exciting and
engaging weeks of school.
This week, we introduced our Daily 5 (for more info about what the
Daily 5 is, check out this link)
method of teaching literacy. We practiced writing in our writing
journals, we practiced reading to self and reading with our partners, we
introduced our math centers and problem solving journals and even played some
great math games!
We also worked very hard to establish our classroom rules and
routines. Every morning, we line up in the small primary yard. We put our
backpacks in the lineup and play until the school bell rings. We enter the
school and head to our classroom (Room 7), where we change into our indoor
shoes (**if you have not yet sent in a second pair of shoes for your child,
please do so as soon as possible) and put our note totes into the bin where
Madame Byrd can check for notes from parents.
**Parent Tip: If you have a
note for me, please put it in your child’s agenda and leave the agenda open to
that page so that I know that I have mail from you J
Then we meet in our meeting area for calendar time and sharing and
start our school day.
For more information about what we do on a daily basis and other
good parent tips, please attend our Parent
Teacher Info Night on Wednesday September 12th from 5:00pm – 6:15pm
for a fun & information-filled evening!
