We had a great first week of school.  Everyone did a great job playing with friends and listening to teachers.  This week and next week we are working on "All About Me" books.  We will spend the next week finishing up our books and putting them in our library so we can learn about each other.  We talked about what we look like and graphed and counted similar characteristics, we drew self-portraits, made pictures of our house and made birthday cakes for how old we are. 

This week we will add our family members to our houses, make a frame for the cover of our books by creating AB patterns, and practice cutting and writing for our portfolios. 

Choice Time:

writing center: letter puzzles
math center: shape sorters
blue table: iPads
