What Would You Draw?

I always start Writer's Workshop S-L-O-W-L-Y!  We focus on writing ONE sentence with a capital and a period.

We read the book, Chalk and brainstormed a list of what we'd make if we had chalk!  Students wrote a sentence and created an illustration to match.

Here's their work!

Our First Week Together

The first read aloud this year was, You're Finally Here, by Melanie Watt.  Students turned and talked to share what they had done over the summer.  Look at what they were up to!

We spent time working with our names this week.  We looked at how many letters we had, clapped syllables, and looked at how many vowels we had.  Students created these flowers and added a poem.

Students made a self-portrait, practiced writing their names, and we put our pictures in ABC Order.  I even ran out of room and had to tape some onto our bookcase!

We also read the No David! books which are always a hit.  Students wrote one rule they always follow at school and made their very own David!

We practiced read to self.  

We read A LOT of Kevin Henkes' books and made connections to Owen.  They had to write one item that was extremely important to them and create an illustration.

Sasmi wanted to share what she built with the flats and longs during math time today!

Keep checking back for updates!

Here We Are!

Here we are!!  If you don't see pictures of your child, please make sure you sign and return the permission slip for him/her to be on the blog.

We have 19 students in our class and spent the week getting back into the routine of school.  I'm not sure about your child but I'm EXHAUSTED!!

I'm so happy to have you in my class and can't wait to be your teacher this year.

Are YOU Ready?!

At the end of the year I moved to a new classroom on the other side of the school.  I did a lot of the moving and work at the end of the year so I could enjoy summer vacation.

My room has been ready for quite some time and now I'm just waiting on you!  I can't wait to meet each and everyone of you.  We'll have a great year learning and having fun.

Here's what our room looks like!!

Here's the newest addition!  I made a teepee a few years ago but found this on amazon and just love the look of it.  It will be a great reading nook.  You just might find me hanging out in it too.

See you soon.
