A Super First Week!

We are having a 'Super' first week of school! We are extremely happy to have 23 friends returning to us from last year's kindergarten class and to be welcoming 13 new friends to our first grade class!

Our first graders have been working hard this week to reestablish our rituals and routines in the classroom. They are learning quickly how to unpack in the mornings, how to gather for lessons, and the expectations for classroom behavior. They are doing a great job gaining the independence that comes with being first graders.

Being a first grader brings new and exciting priviledges. First graders get to leave the classroom on their own at dismissal time- no more having to walk with a teacher. First graders get to use the monkey bars! First graders are allowed to play on both sides of the playground!

Take a moment this weekend and ask your child what their favorite part of first grade is!
