Hello Families!
We are so happy to welcome all of you to our classroom blog. On here you will find tons (ok, maybe not TONS, but a lot) of information on classroom happenings, important classroom updates, school information, and classroom content information. While we try to update our blog weekly, as the school year progresses, some tabs might not be updated as frequently depending on the content being taught.
We made it through the first week of school and the solar eclipse! The kids did great and had a fun time learning all about it while experiencing it firsthand.
WHEW!
What a busy week it was getting to know your kiddos and teaching them the rituals and routines of first grade. We must say they have come in well-prepared from kindergarten, and we can't wait to get started on small group instruction.
Some important things to remember, we begin every morning in our homerooms with a morning meeting and greeting each other. Not only does this help us to learn who our classmates are, it helps us establish a caring community of learners by talking about our Personal Success Factors (PSF), what we can do as learners to overcome obstacles, and just talking with one another before our busy day begins.
At the end of the day, your child should know what they do as far as after school pickup goes. If your child is picked up out on the blacktop, they MUST give their homeroom teacher a fist bump before running off. This is for your child's safety! Please remind them to do this and do not walk off until this connection happens.
This month's PSF is Growth Mindset. If you aren't familiar with what Growth Mindset is, ask your children. They can tell you all about it! You can also click the link at the top of our blog under Character Education to find out more.
