Thursday, September 6

We had a GREAT day today!  Everyone is settling in to the rules and routines of the classroom.  We practiced cutting and gluing today and made posters all about ourselves.  I will post some pictures of them next week! 

We also made our first "anchor chart" today.  These charts are created as a class and are used to help "anchor" information in students' minds.  The chart we created today was about sitting at circle time.  We had a great conversation discussing expectations for sitting in a large group, and now we have a visual reminder of those things that we can refer back to throughout the day!  We will be doing lots of anchor charts this year as a part of our Reader's Workshop.

I have entered everyone's e-mail address into our blog, so you should be getting an e-mail every time I write a post. If you don't, please let me know.  Also, tell grandparents and other family members about our blog so that they can take a peek at what your child is doing in kindergarten!

Tomorrow we will be going to music and library!

And now for some pictures from the day...
