Last week we started into our "normal" routine, and it went well! My students began learning spelling words, high-frequency words, and reading their first story in their reading books. Here is a look into our week:

Working in literacy centers
This week in math, we began to brush up on our number sense. We compared numbers using various graphs, used counters and unifix cubes to help us "see" our numbers in real life, and created number lines to practice counting up and back.
Let's not forget about Whack-a-Word Wednesday! These guys loved getting to whack their spelling words and high-frequency words!

I have had such a great week getting to know all of my new students! This week we have been reviewing kindergarten skills and getting back into the swing of things. Below you can see of few of this week's activities as well as next week's newsletter. :)

A little "jitter juice" for the first day of school helped everyone to feel a bit more comfortable!
Everyone loved getting to share a little about themselves with the class using their "All About Me" bags!
We also tried out centers this week so that we could begin to learn and practice center and small group procedures.
To top off a great first week, a sweet student brought these beautiful flowers to display in our classroom! Thank you, Mr. Henry Holt! :)
