What an AWESOME and BUSY first week we had! We had so much getting to know each other and our new classroom routines. We read First Day Jitters on Monday and talked about how even teachers get nervous for the first day of school. To help our "jitters" we made Jitter Juice.....boy was it good! We read lots of stories by the author, Kevin Henkes. Chrysanthemum, Worried Wimbledon, and Lilly's Purple Purse were just a few of our favorite. We talked about why we wanted to be a peace maker and not a peace breaker in our classroom. We had lots of fun getting our wiggles out during our brain breaks and learning how to play new math games. On Friday, we even made our own volcanoes! I can already tell this is going to be an awesome year!
Thanks for keeping us updated on what's going on in class. Irisa likes the name "Chrysanthemum." I was wondering where that came from. :)
ReplyDeleteWe read a story called Chrysanthemum about a little girl who loved her name until she went to school and the others in her class made fun of her. One day the music teacher (who all the students loved) told them that she was named after a flower, too! After that, everyone wanted to be named after a flower! It is an awesome story with a very good lesson!
DeleteThis blog is awesome! I loved to be in the know on what my Ashton is doing and learning about in your class Mrs. Parker. Thank you so much!😊
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE having Ashton in my class this year! He is doing a great job participating in our activities when he is with us! He is a very bright young man....I can't wait to see him grow this year!
