Fantastic First Day

Wow.  What a day!  I think we have some of the best first graders in the whole state of Vermont in room 12.  We learned SO much about our school, classroom and each other today.

We explored with pattern blocks in math and admired each other's hard work.  We made flat designs, stacked designs and even... wait for it... designs with PATTERNS!  (Imagine that!)  As we walked around the classroom I heard first graders say, "Wow! I like your design!" and "It looks like you worked hard!"  We were so kind and polite to each other.  They are really impressive.  

We learned about our Awesome Work checklist. (You'll see this in your child's folder this afternoon.)  We earned ALL check pluses!  Please initial your child's checklist under the day and send it back in their folder tomorrow. 

In the afternoon we read a funny book, Ready, Set, SCHOOL and talked about different things we like to read.  We had P.E. with Mr. Pecor and started to think about stories from our lives in writing.

We worked REALLY hard all day and had so much fun!
