Happy Friday!
It was a very busy first full week here in Grade 1!  We have been learning lots of routines and expectations, and we've gotten a lot of compliments on our work in specials and the cafeteria!

The Art teacher has asked that the students wear their Art shirts to class on Tuesday :)

Ask us about...

-Our first outdoor safety drill
-Small Moments stories ("watermelon" and "seed" stories)
-Reviewing combinations of numbers that add up to 10 using counters (red and yellow)
-Morning Meeting/our calendar routines (the kids started taking turns being our Leader this week)
-Our first Sharing day on Monday!

Thank you to everyone who returned their library books on Thursday!  The librarians REALLY appreciated it! :D

Some of our read alouds this week included:
The Bear Ate Your Sandwich
Sad, the Dog
Stephen and the Beetle
The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes

Congratulations to Lucien for earning the privilege of taking home Kola the Bear last week, and Dominic and Libby for earning the privilege of taking home Kola and Darla this week!

Have a great weekend!  One of the plays I am in opened last night, so I will be busy with that this weekend.  I'm hoping to get outdoors for a bit of fresh air, too!  Whatever your plans, enjoy your time with your first grader :)
