We had a fun week of learning and reviewing!  
This week we were still reviewing letters and numbers from Kindergarten, and I am ready to get to the first grade stuff, and so is the rest of the class. 
Parents, thank you for helping every night with homework!  
We finally get to go to the library on Monday, and we are all excited to check out books!  
We had our first fire drill today, and it went surprisingly well!  
I was so happy with the way it went.  It has been a very smooth first couple weeks of school!  
I am one lucky teacher to have such a wonderful class.

Here is a little look at what we have been doing in the classroom!

Every day, we have been listening to this book about letters.  The kids have LOVED it, and so have I!  It is about animals from Animal Island that wanted to learn about letters that were floating onto their island from Letter Island, so they traveled there, learned their letters, and met a monster.  Ask your kids about it and they will be happy to tell you about the whole story.  They were very interested in the story.
 
 While reviewing our letters, we were able to do a little art project here and there.
 After they are done with whatever they are working on, they work in their workbook (thank you Starfall!) until it is time to do something else and move on.  It keeps them working hard and they aren't bored!


 In math, we learned about making Pictographs.  
It was a contest between the kids that ride the bus and the kids that get picked up/dropped off.  
It would have been a tie if I didn't put up a car for me.  :)
  
 We also got to make calendars for math this week.  
We will make a calendar for every month with a picture to draw for every month.
Here are a few examples, unfinished.


Thanks again parents for all that you do!
