What a busy day we had today! I wanted to say a quick thank you for returning all of the paperwork that came home yesterday... I know the beginning of school has a lot of extra things to take care of! Today was a day filled with learning all about our routines in first grade. We had a great devotion on Jeremiah 29:11 followed by a prayer time lifting our hearts together to Jesus. The kids worked REALLY hard on their "All About Me"books. I want to look over them and review them so that they can hopefully come home tomorrow! You'll be SO proud of the hard work your little one did... I know I was! We also did some number and letter assessment work today as well, so you won't find much in the take home folder! As we are starting our routines, I have decided that we will start our spelling tests next week, along with our weekly, scheduled homework. Thank you for your patience as we get all settled in.
One day done, and it was fun! We had a great first day at school today in first grade. Just a reminder that all next week we'll be learning the procedures for the rest of the school year. Be patient as we get all the kinks worked out! I'm looking forward to seeing 14 smiles walking in the door on Monday! Have a great weekend and be blessed!
Tomorrow it's here... the FIRST day of school! Is it strange that I still get excited and can't sleep... just like when I was the student? I love how every child is different. There' are some who won't smile the whole time because they are scared to death because God has blessed them with a sense of cautiousness. There are usually some who are nothing but smiles from the moment they step in the door because God blessed them with a bubbly personality. There are some who want to know EVERYTHING because God blessed them with a sense of curiosity. A few are quiet and watchful because God blessed them with a great sense of observation. Then there are those who have a mind a million miles away because God blessed them with a great imagination. I love the first day of school. I love to meet every single one of my students... because no matter what they are like, God has blessed me with them.
Guess what? I have a NEW white board... and it looks FANTASTIC!!! I wanted to send a big thank you out to everyone who has pitched in and helped the 1st grade room look GREAT!! I'll be posting more about the first day of school (Friday) as soon as I have information to give you! I'm looking forward to meeting all of my students... it's going to be a wonderful year!
I just wanted to say thank you to all those who were able to come out and help at the work day today! I was only able to be there from 7:30-10:15, but it was looking GREAT! I know that people have a lot of other things to do on their Saturdays, but your time was REALLY appreciated... so THANKS!!
