Week 1 AND Done!!!

A week in pictures!











WOW.. Very hard to believe that it is Saturday!! Where did the week go? We were certainly busy working on our routines and rituals this week. Trying to find out who was in our class, and when are resources were and how we move about the room. All important things to establish within the first week of school.



We also worked in all our core subjects: Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies. We even had a chance to have a rock lab twice!! In Math we are busy reviewing numeration- including place value, estimation, rounding, and working with number lines. We even practiced decoding word problems as those always seem to give us the most problems. In Reading we really worked on selecting good books- and how to stick with them to finish. Social Studies is all about Florida History - and who can't love that!! We have learned about some geography features of the state and some of the benefits of being a coastal state.



This week we will work on creating our 3 rotations for Math and Reading and we will continue to learn in Science and Social Studies. We will also get to go to PE on Monday and Music on Friday!



We will have our first fundraiser of the year- magazine sales! It is very simple- you just fill out the forms and send them back in. Of course you can order a magazine too!



Open House will be the Tuesday after Labor Day. Can't wait to see all of you. Remember, STAR contracts must be signed within the first 10 days of school.
