Our Awesome First Week!

We had such an AWESOME first week!  I am already so proud of these kiddos.  It always amazes me how quickly they jump right in and learn our classroom routines.  I said to them all week......"Are you sure you weren't 1st graders last year?"

This week we were hard at work learning and practicing our classroom rules and procedures.  We played lots of games that helped us get to know each other.  On Monday, to help us with our first day jitters, we got to make and drink Jitter Juice.  We read lots of stories that helped us learn how we should treat each other. This year we are going to "bucket fillers" and not "bucket dippers".  We got to play with some of our math manipulatives and  learned how to correctly use the dice and spinners.  We ended our busy week by graphing M & M's and erupting volcanoes.  It was a fun and busy week!
