Happy New Year!
Our first week back from Winter Break was shortened a bit on the front end by freezing rain and slick roads on Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday things were back to normal, and first graders were getting back into their learning routines. We reviewed how to pick Just Right Books and adjusted our Reading Workshop routine to encourage more and deeper reading.
Friday was Hat Day, and we had an all-school assembly.
Did your 1st grader mention that Aidan moved out of our classroom at Winter Break? We will miss him! But no sooner had Aidan left than we had the good fortune of gaining a new classmate! We welcomed Jonas Johnson into our classroom last week, and we're so glad he's here. He's settled into our classroom and is already like an old friend. Welcome, Jonas!
