Well…today not only was I tired but the puppies were tired as well! I think it’s beginning to hit everyone that we are back to school! We do seem to still be having a lot of fun overall though!


This morning…can you believe it??? Our writing is STILL improving! I had several friends write MORE than one good sentence! When I helped put punctuation in the right spots their little eyes were so big! It’s so amazing to see that light bulb go on! (the reason I LOVE this job so much) We had several people share. It’s not easy to find anyone that HASN’T included the setting, their characters and an event! YIPPEEE!



Today we read Officer Buckle and Gloria. A little background…Since day one I have been talking about our classroom being a safe place much like a family. We don’t have to be best friends but we have to look out for one another. Well…if you’ve ever read Officer Buckle and Gloria at the end Tip number 101 is Stick with your buddy (help them out…look out for them)…So, I asked, “What do you think Tip number 101 might be? Always look out for….?” And one little one shouted BANANAS! And sure enough another one said, “Yeah the peels so you don’t slip!” Well…needless to say GREAT answer…not quite the one we were looking for but it made our day!

We had to watch the bus evacuation video today and will have our drill on Sept. 6. We all enjoy practicing the backdoor exit!

We introduced two new math stations today! Build a number and show me how many! Math time can get a bit loud but Ms. Woodard and I are extremely proud of how well everyone is staying on task!





 





We continued setting up our science notebook today. We added the definition of a scientist to our picture of ourselves as a scientist! And then WOW it was already specials time!

Don’t forget tomorrow is SPIRIT FRIDAY…if your child has a Robertson shirt BE SURE TO WEAR IT! If he or she does not there are lots for sale in the main office!
