First Week of 1st Grade

8/25/2017

The first week of first grade is always filled with lots of "firsts"! We began our first day reading "First Day Jitters" and talked about all the things the students (and I!) might have been nervous about on our first day.  We then drank some "jitter juice" to chase away any leftover jitters we might have.  Then we were ready to begin learning how first grade works!

 Students have been learning how to earn tickets by being respectful and being a good listener.  Some extra respectful first graders got to trade in those tickets at the end of the week for some fun prizes and rewards!

We have already learned 3 of our Daily 5 centers and how to use our fun "secret spot" items such as our scoop chairs and lap desks.  We are doing such a fantastic job and have built our stamina up to 12 minutes already!! Next week we will learn another new center and will try to make our goal of working hard for 15 whole minutes. I'm so impressed! Stay tuned for more pictures and updates about this fabulous first grade class!
