First week has come and gone!

Sad to see the first week is over, but excited for the rest of the year to slow down.  I feel it is already flying by and want to be able to keep them with me as long as possible.  We had a fantastic day Ms. Wolfean did her read aloud to us today.  The students giggled out loud during our story time, the book is Hank Zipper A Tale of Two Tails  by Henry Winkler.  I love this author and I hope they came home discussing it.  I am proud of my class because we are the best class when walking down the hall.  Several teacher stopped us in the hall to say how fantastic they thought we were, and amazed it was only day four.  We then moved into writing and Ms. Wolfean let us play a game using balls.  She made sure the game was an educational one.  I wanted them to experience a game using words and when they were told no more words and had two balls the game got harder.  My point is writing is going to be hard and easy, but no one gave up on the game.  This is why we can't give up on writing.  We also talked about how when we practice a sport we get better and better, so we need to do the same here at school.  We continued with math and began to discuss graphs and how when we sort in math we need a way to gather information.  Then we turn our data into a graph to be able to make some observations from the data and graphs.  After this we finally we able to exit to head home for our long weekend.  I will miss you all on Monday. Oh yes, PLEASE READ!!
