Curriculum Highlights:

On Monday we did a lot of activities with the eclipse!  What a cool first day of school!



We have begun our Science unit called "Earth and Me." This week we learned about Rocks.
Rock show and tell
We wrote descriptions about rocks and our friends
had to guess which rock we were describing.
In Bible we began the studying the book of Ephesians.  We learned about unity, working as a team, and following in God's footsteps.



Math routines were established this week along with practice on addition and subtraction.


We have begun reading and writing workshop.  The kids were so excited to go shopping in my library and love reading their books each day.





We learned more about our friends Wesley and Brooke this week as they shared items from the "All About Me" bag.


We also really enjoyed covering our writer's notebooks today to make them special to us!



Thanks to these awesome moms for covering our work! 

It was a great first week of school.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
