We have been very busy in Room 36 these first few weeks! The children have worked to learn many of the routines and procedures that will make our classroom successful all year. They have also learned Read to Self, Work on Writing, and Listen to Reading in the Daily 5. Math by Myself and Math writing are underway in Math Daily 3. Every day, the children are building independence with reading, writing and math tasks.
The children have written our Hopes and Goals for the year, and used them to create our class rules. Each day, we work to LIVE the rules, talking frequently about what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like when kids follow the rules. The children also participated in their first role play to practice how to ask to join an inside recess game.
Soon, we will get into our first science kit about Life Cycles. Children will observe several types of insects to learn about the stages in a life cycle as well as characteristics of an insect.
Open House for K-2 families will be Tuesday, September 22, at 6:30. I look forward to meeting you!
