Our First Day

We had a great first day in First Grade! Below are some photos of most of our activities today. I take a lot of pictures each day so I can share with you what we are learning.

• We drew a picture of ourselves on the first day of school.
• We went to music class.
• We reviewed the letters A and B. Then in our writing notebooks we practiced our handwriting and brainstormed words that started with those letters.
• We read a story called The Day the Monster Came to School. Then we sequenced 6 pictures from the story.
• We made class graph of how we go home.
• We had a fire drill. We read a story called, The Night Before First Grade.
• We practiced all our procedures such as "Hallway Procedures", "Lining up Procedures", "Carpet Procedures", "Cafeteria Procedures"...
• We learned about our behavior clip chart. Everyone had a "Super Student" day. :)
• Chloe is a friend in our class who has diabetes. She shared with us a wonderful book about diabetes and showed us how she checks her blood. The class was very interested and listened wonderfully to Chloe as she explained to the class. She was a wonderful teacher about diabetes. Great Job Chloe!
• We packed up to go home and everyone got in their bus, van, car, or made it to ACES smoothly.

Thanks to the kids for being such great listeners and hard workers. I can't wait for tomorrow! :)
